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 201

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 $X^\mu_R$ and the $X^\mu_L$ 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

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
