A toy model for background independent string field theory

Grigoriev, Maxim; Meyer, Adiel und Sachs, Ivo (2022): A toy model for background independent string field theory. In: Journal of High Energy Physics, Nr. 5, 20

Abstract

We study gauge theories of background fields associated to BRST quantized spinning particle models and identify background-independent algebraic structures which allow to systematically reduce the spectrum of fields and subject some of them to dynamical equations of motion. More specifically, we construct a manifestly background-independent extension of the model based on N = 2 spinning particle. The resulting system describes an on-shell spin-1 field coupled to off-shell background fields including metric and dilaton. Tensoring with a given Lie algebra results in a non-abelian extension of the model.
