STRING FIELD THEORY : AN INTRODUCTION

In these introductory notes I explain some basic ideas in string field theory. These include: the concept of a string field, the issue of background independence, the reason why minimal area metrics…

The chiral ring of AdS3/CFT2 and the attractor mechanism

We study the moduli dependence of the chiral ring in N = (4, 4) superconformal field theories, with special emphasis on those CFT's that are dual to type IIB string theory on AdS(3) x S-3 x X-4. The…

The Algebra of Diffeomorphisms from theWorld Sheet

The quantum theory of a massless spin two particle is strongly constrained by diffeomorphism invariance, which is in turn implied by unitarity. We explicitly exhibit the space-time diffeomorphism…

Developing the covariant Batalin-Vilkovisky approach to string theory

Abstract We investigate the variation of the string field action under changes of the string field vertices giving rise to different decompositions of the moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces. We…

Target Space Duality as a Symmetry of String Field Theory

Toroidal backgrounds for bosonic strings are used to understand target space duality as a symmetry of string field theory and to study explicitly issues in background independence. Our starting point…

In the presence of arbitrary background gauge, gravitational, and antisymmetric tensor fields, the heterotic string may be described by a two-dimensional local field theory and the appearance of the Chern-Simons three-forms in the classical equations of motion is shown to be related to the chiral anomaly in two- dimensional gauge theories.
