As of today, there exist consistent, gauge-invariant string field theories describing all string
theories: bosonic open and closed strings, open superstrings, heterotic strings, and type II …

The double-scaled matrix integral has as its leading density of states the universal Cardy
density of primaries in a two-dimensional CFT, thus motivating the name Virasoro minimal …

A bstract We compute the ZZ annulus one-point function of the cosmological constant
operator in non-critical string theory, regulating divergences from the boundaries of moduli …

Witten's open string field theory with a generalized version of stubs is reformulated as a
cubic string field theory using an auxiliary string field. The gauge symmetries and equations …

Topological string theory has multi-instanton sectors which lead to non-perturbative effects
in the string coupling constant and control the large order behavior of the perturbative genus …

A bstract We demonstrate how recent developments in string field theory provide a
framework to systematically study type II flux compactifications with non-trivial Ramond …

String vertices of open-closed string field theory on an arbitrary closed string background
with N identical D-branes are investigated when N is large. We identify the relevant …

A bstract We use the new nilpotent formulation of open-closed string field theory to explore
the limit where the number N of identical D-branes of the starting background is large. By …

A bstract We consider deformations of D-brane systems induced by a change in the closed
string background in the framework of bosonic open-closed string field theory, where it is …

A bstract We study the leading nonperturbative corrections to the strong-coupling
(ungapped) phase of the Gross-Witten-Wadia (GWW) integral over unitary matrices, to one …
