D-brane tension as central charge

Vinícius Bernardes, Theodore Erler, Atakan Hilmi Fırat

Using Hamiltonian methods in open bosonic string field theory, we derive the mass of a D0-brane as the central charge of the spontaneously broken Poincaré algebra in 26 dimensions.…

Poisson bracket and algebras

Vinícius Bernardes, Theodore Erler, Atakan Hilmi Fırat +1

We describe the Poisson bracket of a Lagrangian field theory expressed in the framework of algebras. If the symplectic structure on phase space is defined following rece…

Conserved charges and algebras

Vinícius Bernardes, Theodore Erler, Atakan Hilmi Fırat

We give a formula for conserved charges in an arbitrary Lagrangian field theory expressed in the framework of algebras. The formula is determined by the theory's $L_\inf…

Symplectic structure in open string field theory III: Electric field

Vinícius Bernardes, Theodore Erler, Atakan Hilmi Fırat

We use a new formula for the symplectic structure on the phase space of open string field theory to evaluate the energy of a D-brane carrying a constant electric flux. This is show…

Symplectic structure in open string field theory II: Sliding lump

Vinícius Bernardes, Theodore Erler, Atakan Hilmi Fırat

We use a new formula for symplectic structure to compute the momentum of an analytic lump solution moving at constant velocity in Witten's open string field theory. The computation…

Symplectic structure in open string field theory I: Rolling tachyons

Vinícius Bernardes, Theodore Erler, Atakan Hilmi Fırat

We discuss a new formula for the symplectic structure on the phase space of open string field theory. Revisiting the setup of Cho, Mazel, and Yin, we use the formula to compute the…
