Veneziano amplitude

It was proposed by Numbu, Gato, Nielsen, Susskind (1970) to use string to describe infinite number of Regge states

Wanted(1985): Gauge Invariant Principle behind String Field Interaction
Many attempts:
Various gauge covariant free string actions were given in:
E. Witten, (1985), J.-L. Gervais (1985) L. Baulieu and S. Ouvry, Phys. Lett. B 171 (1986) 57. M. Kaku, Phys. Lett. B 162 (1985) 97; D. Friedan, Chicago University preprint EF 185-27 (1985); T. Banks and M.E. Peskin, SLAC preprint 3740 (1985); A. Neveu, H. Nicolai and P.C. West, Phys. Lett. B 167 (1986) 307; W. Siegel and B. Zwiebach, Berkeley preprint UCBPTH- 85130 (1985);
A.Neveu and P.West have given the gauge-invariant interaction of a bosonic open string at the lowest levels, Phys. Lett. B 168 (1986) 192.

Recent developments • began with Siegel’s formulation of a covariantly gauge-fixed bosonic string
based on Kato and Ogawa’s BRST formalism of a first quantized string W. Siegel, Phys. Lett. B 151 (1985) 391,396 Kato and K. Ogawa, Nucl. Phys. B 212 (1983) 443• Hata, Itoh, Kugo, Kunitomo and Ogawa have constructed the gauge-fixed BRST
invariant field theory for the interacting bosonic string based on the string-ends interaction. Problem with an extra parameter (string length),
Phys. Lett. B 172 (1986) 186 • The gauge-invariant formulation of the classical interacting bosonic open string
related with HIKKO BRST invariant SFT was given in I.A., Volovich,TMF 67(1986) 320,460 = Phys.Lett.182 (1986) 159

Witten’s SFT, 1986
• No extra-parameters, the gluing is different, now this is called Witten's gluing
• Gauge invariant
• Reproduces the Veneziano amplitudes

Th. Flat connections of principal G-bundles over M entirely determined by holonomies around noncontractive cycles on the base M or
Flat connections of principal G-bundles over M are in one to one correspondence with equivalence classes of homomorphism from the fundamental group of M to G up to conjugation, i.e.

Abelian case, QA=0, or dA=0
• Poincare Lemma. On the contractive manifold, all closed forms are exact, i.e.
Closed forms represent cohomology classes(de Rham cohomology).
All solutions of dA=0 are given by the de Rham theory.

Tachyonic (Higgs-Like) Solutions to SFT
• This activity was initiated by the Sen conjectures
• Bosonic string has tachyon.• There is tachyon in the Higgs model as well. In the Higgs model we start from finding the non-zero
expectation value for the Higgs field
Sen's 1-st conjecture:

String in non-trivial background
• We do not have SFT in an arbitrary non-trivial background
• we do have in pp-waves, due to R.Metsaev study of the string spectrum in
pp-waves• we try to guess how can look level-truncated
SFT in non-trivial background. (minimal interaction)

Rolling tachyon solutions in level truncated theories in FRW metric
• Sen in 2003 proposed to use the bosonic string tachyon to
describe pressure less Dark Matter.
• Tachyon related with nonBPS brane has been considers also as a model of the dynamical Dark Energy (IA,2005)
