Open string field theory in lightcone gauge

Abstract We study covariant open bosonic string field theory in lightcone gauge. When lightcone gauge is well-defined, we find two results. First, the vertices of the gauge-fixed action consist of Mandelstam diagrams with stubs covering specific portions of the moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces. Thi...
