String Vertices and Inner Derivations
Abstract
Description
We show that it is algebraically consistent to express some string field theory operators as inner derivations of the B-V algebra of string vertices. In this approach, the recursion relations for the string vertices are found to take the form of a `geometrical' quantum master equation. We also show that the B-V delta operator cannot be an inner derivation on the algebra.
