弦の場の理論 : 現状と展望  [in Japanese] String Field Theory : Current Status and Prospects  [in Japanese]

Abstract

弦の場の理論とは, 弦の生成/消滅をつかさどる場の演算子(弦場)を力学変数とする場の理論であり, ヤンーミルズ理論やアインシュタイン重力理論の拡張としての大きなゲージ不変性を持った理論である.近年タキオン凝縮という非摂動論的現象の解析を通じてその有用性が再認識され, 超弦理論から標準模型を再現できるかという重要課題解決のための基本的枠組みとしても期待されている.ここでは弦の場の理論の定式化から始めて, タキオン凝縮問題への応用, 今後の課題等を初等的に解説する.

String field theory (SFT) is a field theory having as its dynamical variable the operator (string field) which creates/annihilates a string. It has a huge gauge invariance which is an extension of symmetries in Yang-Mills theory and Einstein gravity theory. Recently, the usefulness of SFT has been recognized through the analysis of tachyon condensation, a nonperturbative phenomenon in string theory. Also SFT is expected to give a fundamental framework of string theory for solving the important problem of whether string theory can reproduce the standard model. Here, I present an introductory review of SFT including the formulation SFT, its application to tachyon condensation and future problems.
