Vacuum String Field Theory
Leonardo Rastelli, Ashoke Sen, Barton Zwiebach
This is a brief review of vacuum string field theory, a new approach to open string field theory based on the stable vacuum of the tachyon. We discuss the sliver state explaining i…
An Introduction to Non-perturbative String Theory
Ashoke Sen
In this review I discuss some basic aspects of non-perturbative string theory. The topics include test of duality symmetries based on the analysis of the low energy effective actio…
Black Holes and Solitons in String Theory
Ashoke Sen
In this review, I discuss a general method for constructing classical solutions of the equations of motion arising in the effective low energy string theory, and discuss specific a…
Some Applications of String Field Theory
Ashoke Sen
We study general properties of the classical solutions in non-polynomial closed string field theory and their relationship with two dimensional conformal field theories. In particu…
