Abstract:

This is a short review of the results of the work [arXiv:1009.6185] with Michael Kiermaier and Yuji Okawa, which was presented at the String Field Theory and Related Aspects 2010 conference. We construct an analytic solution of open string field theory which is given in terms of boundary condition changing (bcc) operator. The solution is valid for bcc operators with vanishing conformal weight such as those corresponding to regular marginal deformations of the background, but looks like a good starting point to look for solutions corresponding to more general deformations. Applications to the rolling tachyon profile are also presented.
