Open String Gravity?
Yeuk-Kwan E. Cheung, Mark Laidlaw, Konstantin Savvidy
We present a new application of Boundary String Field Theory: calculating the induced-gravity action on a D-brane. Using a simple quadratic tachyon potential to model a D-brane flu…

Comments on Higher Derivative Terms for the Tachyon Action
Mark Laidlaw, Madoka Nishimura
We consider the open string tachyon action in a world-sheet sigma model approach. We present explicit calculations up to order 8 in derivatives for the bosonic string, and mimic th…

The Off-Shell Boundary State and Cross-Caps in the Genus Expansion of String Theory
M. Laidlaw
We use the boundary state formalism for the bosonic string to calculate the emission amplitude for closed string states from particular D-branes. We show that the amplitudes obtain…
