Quantizing multi-pronged open string junction
Masako Asano, Mitsuhiro Kato
Covariant quantization of multi-pronged open bosonic string junction is studied beyond static analysis. Its excited states are described by a set of ordinary bosons as well as some…
Minimal gauge invariant and gauge fixed actions for massive higher-spin fields
Masako Asano
Inspired by the rich structure of covariant string field theory, we propose a minimal gauge invariant action for general massive integer spin n field. The action consists of four t…
Supersymmetric extended string field theory in NS^n sector and NS^{n-1}-R sector
Masako Asano, Mitsuhiro Kato
We construct a class of quadratic gauge invariant actions for extended string fields defined on the tensor product of open superstring state space for multiple open string Neveu-Sc…
Extended string field theory for massless higher-spin fields
Masako Asano, Mitsuhiro Kato
We propose a new gauge field theory which is an extension of ordinary string field theory by assembling multiple state spaces of the bosonic string. The theory includes higher spin…
Gauge invariant and gauge fixed actions for various higher-spin fields from string field theory
Masako Asano
We propose a systematic procedure for extracting gauge invariant and gauge fixed actions for various higher-spin gauge field theories from covariant bosonic open string field theor…
Closed string field theory in a-gauge
Masako Asano, Mitsuhiro Kato
We show that a-gauge, a class of covariant gauges developed for bosonic open string field theory, is consistently applied to the closed string field theory. A covariantly gauge-fix…
