A New Type of String Field Theory
We propose a new way of second quantizing string theory. The method is based
on considering the Fock space of strings described by constituents which make
up the and the i.e. the right and left mover modes
separately. A state with any number of strings get represented by the Cartesian
product of two free particle Fock spaces, one for right mover degrees of
freedom, and one for left. The resulting string field theory is a free theory.Comment: 1 figur
Deriving Veneziano Model in a Novel String Field Theory Solving String Theory by Liberating Right and Left Movers
Bosonic string theory with the possibility for an arbitrary number of strings
- i.e. a string field theory - is formulated by a Hilbert space (a Fock space),
which is just that for massless noninteracting scalars. We earlier presented
this novel type of string field theory, but now we show that it leads to
scattering just given by the Veneziano model amplitude. Generalization to
strings with fermion modes would presumably be rather easy. It is
characteristic for our formulation /model that: 1) We have thrown away some
null set of information compared to usual string field theory, 2)Formulated in
terms of our \objects" (= the non-interacting scalars) there is no interaction
and essentially no time development(Heisenberg picture), 3) so that the
S-matrix is in our Hilbert space given as the unit matrix, S=1, and 4) the
Veneziano scattering amplitude appear as the overlap between the initial and
the final state described in terms of the \objects". 5) The integration in the
Euler beta function making up the Veneziano model appear from the summation
over the number of \objects" from one of the incoming strings which goes into a
certain one of the two outgoing strings. A correction from Weyl anomaly is
needed to get the correct form of the Veneziano amplitude and it only fits for
26 dimensions.Comment: 43 pages, 7 figures, To be published in Proc.of 17th Bled Workshop

Non-existence of Irreversible Processes in Compact Space Time
It is shown that if physical space time were truly compact there would only
be of the order of one solutions to the classical field equations with a
weighting to be explained. But that would not allow any peculiar choice of
initial conditions that could support a non-trivial second law of
thermodynamics. We present a no-go theorem: Irreversible processes would be
extremely unlikely to occur, for the almost unique solution for the
intrinsically compact space time world, although irreversible processes are
well known to occur in general.What we here assume -- compact space time --
excludes that universe could exist eternally.Comment: 11 pages,4 figure
Dirac Sea for Bosons II -- Study of the Naive Vacuum Theory for the Playground World Prior to Filling the Negative Energy Sea --
We use our previous idea, in which at first we perform a naive second
quantization of both negative and positive energy for the Klein-Gordon equation
analogous to the unfilled Dirac sea for fermions, to study as a playground this
naive second quantization theory. It is not to be taken seriously physically in
as far as it has indefinite Fock space, but it has nevertheless interesting
possibilities: Although the naive (quantization) theory represents a
spontaneous breakdown of the usual CPT-symmetry, we shall show that it obeys a
certain replacement for the CPT-theorem for which a proof is presented in
detail.Comment: 20 pages, no figure, LaTeX; added refereces, corrected typo
