At present I am mostly interested in String Field Theory. This is an offshell formulation of string theory that has proven useful so far to describe tachyon condensation on unstable D-brane systems. I am working on exact analytic classical solutions but in the near future I wish to study some more challenging topics such as quantum effects in string field theory and/or explore possible applications to more physical questions.

Selected publications:

  • I. Ellwood and M. Schnabl, Proof of vanishing cohomology at the tachyon vacuum
    JHEP (2007) [hep-th/0606142]
  • M.Schnabl, Analytic solution for tachyon condensation in open string field theory
    Adv. Theor. Math. Phys. (2006) [hep-th/0511286]
