We study gauge invariant operators of open string field theory and find a precise correspondence with on-shell closed strings. We provide a detailed proof of the gauge invariance of the operators and a heuristic interpretation of their correlation functions in terms of on-shell scattering amplitudes of closed strings. We also comment on the implications of these operators to vacuum string field theory.

  1. Higher Connection in Open String Field Theory

    hep-th 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    A 2-form connection is defined in the space of open string field theory solutions, producing invariant higher holonomies and 3-form curvature potentially corresponding to the B-field.

  2. Symplectic structure in open string field theory III: Electric field

    hep-th 2026-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    OSFT symplectic energy of a constant-electric-flux D-brane matches the DBI energy via a generalized Ellwood invariant for nonpolynomial theories.

  3. CFT Correlators from (0,2) Heterotic String

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The (0,2) heterotic string amplitudes with positive winding are shown to match correlation functions of the symmetric product CFT (ML)^N/S_N, confirming a prior proposal.
