Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0724.00013.] The open bosonic string is considered. The action is taken to be some integral of the Chern-Simons 3-form of interacting string field over the string-ghost-antighost space, similarly as by \textit{E. Witten} [Nucl. Phys., B 268, No. 2, 253-294 (1986)]. To define the multiplication among the functional forms in the string-ghost-antighost space, the 3-vertex operator \(v\) is introduced. It should be invariant under the gauge transformation. Constructing an interacting string field theory is equivalent to searching for a 3-vertex operator satisfying certain conditions. The zero string width limit is taken in the 3-string vertex and the need for a 4-string vertex is thus obviated.

Recommendations

• A Chern-Simons-like action for closed-string field theory
• Covariant quantization of the bosonic string field theory
• Interacting higher spins and the high energy limit of the bosonic string
• Local string field theory
• Half-string oscillator approach to string field theory (Ghost sector. II.).
