Observables of boundary RG flows from string field theory
Jaroslav Scheinpflug, Martin Schnabl, Jakub Vošmera
We present simple explicit formulae for the change of the -function, boundary state, boundary spectrum and structure constants between the endpoints of short boundary RG flows a…
Gauge-invariant action for free string field theory with boundary
Carlo Maccaferri, Alberto Ruffino, Jakub Vošmera
We construct fully gauge-invariant kinetic terms for open and closed string field theories on a target space with boundary. This is realized by promoting the gauge parameters at th…
Boundary Modes in String Field Theory
Carlo Maccaferri, Riccardo Poletti, Alberto Ruffino +1
We discuss the construction of boundary contributions to free string field theory actions in the context of the bosonic string. We show that it is generally possible to obtain a we…
Bulk-induced D-brane deformations and the string coupling constant
Carlo Maccaferri, Alberto Ruffino, Jakub Vošmera
We consider computing the on-shell disk action of open-closed string field theory as a gauge-invariant way of capturing the shift in D-brane tension that is induced by a deformatio…
Topological defects and tensionless holography
Bob Knighton, Vit Sriprachyakul, Jakub Vošmera
We study topological defect lines in the symmetric-product orbifolds for a generic seed CFT . We focus on the defects which preserve the maximum of the …
Open-Closed String Field Theory in the Large Limit
Carlo Maccaferri, Alberto Ruffino, Jakub Vošmera
We use the new nilpotent formulation of open-closed string field theory to explore the limit where the number of identical D-branes of the starting background is large. By refo…
The Nilpotent Structure of Open-Closed String Field Theory
Carlo Maccaferri, Alberto Ruffino, Jakub Vošmera
In this note we revisit the homotopy-algebraic structure of oriented bosonic open-closed string field theory and we give a new compact formulation in terms of a single cyclic open-…
The classical cosmological constant of open-closed string field theory
Carlo Maccaferri, Jakub Vošmera
We consider deformations of D-brane systems induced by a change in the closed string background in the framework of bosonic open-closed string field theory, where it is possible to…
D-branes in at and their holographic duals
Matthias R. Gaberdiel, Bob Knighton, Jakub Vošmera
String theory on with minimal NS-NS flux can be described in terms of a free field worldsheet theory in the hybrid formalis…
Closed string deformations in open string field theory III: worldsheet localization
Carlo Maccaferri, Jakub Vošmera
In this paper, which is the last of a series of three, we first verify that the two open-closed effective potentials derived in the previous paper from the WZW theory in the large…
Closed string deformations in open string field theory II: superstring
Carlo Maccaferri, Jakub Vošmera
This is the second paper of a series of three. We construct effective open-closed superstring couplings by classically integrating out massive fields from open superstring field th…
Closed string deformations in open string field theory I: bosonic string
Carlo Maccaferri, Jakub Vošmera
This is the first of a series of three papers on open string field theories based on Witten star product deformed with a gauge invariant open/closed coupling. This deformation is a…
Classical algebraic structures in string theory effective actions
Harold Erbin, Carlo Maccaferri, Martin Schnabl +1
We study generic properties of string theory effective actions obtained by classically integrating out massive excitations from string field theories based on cyclic homotopy algeb…
Localization of effective actions in Heterotic String Field Theory
Harold Erbin, Carlo Maccaferri, Jakub Vošmera
We consider the algebraic couplings in the tree level effective action of the heterotic string. We show how these couplings can be computed from closed string field theory. When th…
Gepner-like boundary states on
M. Schnabl, J. Vosmera
We present exact expressions for elementary boundary states which describe D-branes preserving 16 or fewer supercharges in type II superstring compactified on certain self-dual 4-t…
On the equal-mass limit of precessing black-hole binaries
Davide Gerosa, Ulrich Sperhake, Jakub Vošmera
We analyze the inspiral dynamics of equal-mass precessing black-hole binaries using multi-timescale techniques. The orbit-averaged post-Newtonian evolutionary equations admit two c…
