In this paper we propose the toy model of the closed string tachyon effective action that has marginal tachyon profile as its exact solution in case of constant or linear dilaton background. Then we will apply this model for description of two-dimensional bosonic string theory. We will find that the background configuration with the spatial dependent linear dilaton, flat space–time metric and marginal tachyon profile is the exact solution of our model even if we take into account backreaction of tachyon on dilaton and on metric.

The effective action for the low energy scattering of two gravitons with a D-brane in the presence of a constant antisymmetric B field in bosonic string theory is calculated and the modification to the standard D-brane action to first order in α′ is obtained.

Abstract Recently, it has been shown that the gauge invariance requires the minimum number of independent couplings for B-field, metric and dilaton at order $$\alpha '^2$$α′2 to be 60. In this paper we fix the corresponding 60 parameters in string theory by requiring the couplings to be invariant under the global T-duality transformations. The Riemann cubed terms are exactly the same as the couplings that have been found by the S-matrix calculations.

Following the ideas of Ref. 3, to account for instability of 2-D black hole solution, we discuss possible imaginary string-loop corrections to the coefficient at the Einstein term in string effective action (EA). In closed bosonic string theory, such corrections appear because of the tachyon contribution to the integration measure over the moduli. In superstring theory, several possible sources of complex one-string-loop contributions to the EA are considered. It is argued that none of them can account for complex corrections to the Einstein term in the effective action.

AbstractIt has been recently observed that the imposition of the O(1, 1) symmetry on the circle reduction of the classical effective action of string theory, can fix the effective action of the bosonic string theory at order $$\alpha '^2$$ α ′ 2 , up to an overall factor. In this paper, we use the cosmological reduction on the action and show that, up to one-dimensional field redefinitions and total derivative terms, it can be written in the O(25, 25)-invariant form proposed by Hohm and Zwiebach.

Abstract The O(d, d) invariant worldsheet theory for bosonic string theory with d abelian isometries is employed to compute the beta functions and Weyl anomaly at one-loop. We show that vanishing of the Weyl anomaly coefficients implies the equations of motion of the Maharana-Schwarz action. We give a self-contained introduction into the required techniques, including beta functions, the Weyl anomaly for two-dimensional sigma models and the background field method. This sets the stage for a sequel to this paper on generalizations to higher loops and α′ corrections.

The exact solution of the Feynman checkerboard model is given both in terms of the hypergeometric series and in terms of Jacobi polynomials. It is shown how this leads, in the continuous limit, to the Dirac equation in two-dimensional space-time.

Abstract The boundary state corresponding to the Dp-brane with a transverse rotation in the presence of the Kalb–Ramond and tachyon background fields and a U(1) internal field will be constructed. We shall investigate effects of the open string tachyon condensation on this brane via its boundary state. We demonstrate that the background fields and transverse rotation cannot protect the brane against the collapse. Our calculations are in the context of the bosonic string theory.

Canonical and factorizable off-shell amplitudes for covariant closed string theory can be obtained from string diagrams of minimal area. Evidence is given that all higher genus minimal area string diagrams can be built using vertices and propagators, implying that the off-shell amplitudes arise from the Feynman rules of a full quantum theory of closed strings. The quantum action gives an exact solution of the full master equation of Batalin and Vilkoviski.
