We use a new formula for the symplectic structure on the phase space of open string field theory to evaluate the energy of a D-brane carrying a constant electric flux. This is shown to be consistent with the energy computed using the Dirac-Born-Infeld action through a generalization of the Ellwood invariant to nonpolynomial open string field theories.

  1. A Non-local "Boundary'' Term for Two-Point Amplitudes in String Field Theory

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A non-local boundary term constructed via BRST commutator with a step-function operator restores cyclicity in bosonic string field theory and yields correct tree-level two-point amplitudes for open and closed strings.
