Description |
We put forward a new proposal of a string field theory. Our proposal deviates from other formulations, such as those of Kakku and ikkawa and Witten, in that we do NOT distinguish certain string configurations which are considered as distinct in the other formulations. The states of the ``Fock space'' representing the several strings are described by the images on the target space-time light cone. One of the tricks is to treat in a "lattice regularized" version of $\tau_R = \tau - \sigma$ the even numbered and odd numbered points differently. If our proposal is right, string theory is essentially a solved (solvable) model. |
