Description
This is a set of informal introductory lectures on open string field theory, with special focus on the structure of the open string star algebra. The topics discussed are (1) Algebraic structure of OSFT, (2) CFT definition of star, (3) Neumann coefficients, (3) Conservation laws, (5) Surface states (6) Star algebra spectroscopy, (7) Star as Moyal product, and (8) Star algebra projectors.
