The Dilaton Theorem and Closed String Backgrounds
Oren Bergman, Barton Zwiebach
The zero-momentum ghost-dilaton is a non-primary BRST physical state present in every bosonic closed string background. It is given by the action of the BRST operator on another st…

Off-shell Closed String Amplitudes: Towards a Computation of the Tachyon Potential
Alexander Belopolsky, Barton Zwiebach
We derive an explicit formula for the evaluation of the classical closed string action for any off-shell string field, and for the calculation of arbitrary off-shell amplitudes. Th…

Background Independent Algebraic Structures in Closed String Field Theory
Ashoke Sen, Barton Zwiebach
We construct a Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV) algebra on moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces. This algebra is background independent in that it makes no reference to a state space of a conf…
