Quantizing a multi-pronged open string junction

Progress of Theoretical and Experimental Physics, 2022(10), Sep 12, 2022 Peer-reviewed

Abstract Covariant quantization of a multi-pronged open bosonic string junction is studied beyond static analysis. Its excited states are described by a set of ordinary bosons as well as some sets of twisted bosons on the worldsheet. The system is characterized by a certain large algebra of twisted type that includes a single Virasoro algebra as a subalgebra. By properly defining the physical states, one can show that there are no ghosts in the Hilbert space.
