String field theory in curved space

  • 1. Osaka Univ., Toyonaka (Japan). Dept. of Physics

Description

The purely cubic action in the string field theory is shown to provide a set of equations of motion for background fields which agree to those obtained by the vanishing condition of β-functions in the non-linear sigma model. Using the sigma model as an auxiliary tool, a systematic method for solving the string field theory in curved space is proposed. (orig.)
