On the validity of the solution of string field theory

Abstract: Abstract:We analyze the realm of validity of the recently found tachyon solution of cubic string field theory. We find that the equation of motion holds in a non trivial way when this solution is contracted with itself. This calculation is needed to conclude the proof of Sen's first conjecture. We also find that the equation of motion holds when the tachyon or gauge solutions are contracted among themselves.

“…Yet, for this calculation, the dependence on the matter sector simply amounts to integrating over the zero-modes, which gives the needed 26 dimensional volume factor. Therefore, Schnabl was able to prove Sen's first conjecture within the universal basis (up to some subtleties that were clarified in [4,5]). …”
