Localization of nonlocal theories
Gianluca Calcagni, Michele Montobbio, Giuseppe Nardelli
We show that a certain class of nonlocal scalar models, with a kinetic operator inspired by string field theory, is equivalent to a system which is local in the coordinates but non…
Tachyon solutions in boundary and cubic string field theory
Gianluca Calcagni, Giuseppe Nardelli
We construct rolling tachyon solutions of open and boundary string field theory (OSFT and BSFT, respectively), in the bosonic and supersymmetric (susy) case. The wildly oscillating…
Route to nonlocal cosmology
Gianluca Calcagni, Michele Montobbio, Giuseppe Nardelli
An analytic approach to phenomenological models inspired by cubic string field theory is introduced and applied to some examples. We study a class of actions for a minimally couple…
