String Field Theory, Non-commutativity and Higher Spins

In Chapter 1, we give an introduction to the topic of open string field theory. The concepts presented include gauge invariance, tachyon condensation, as well as the star product. In Chapter 2, we give a brief review of vacuum string field theory (VSFT), an approach to open string field theory aroun...
