Conclusion
• What we know• What we have got• Open problems
![Page 18: Vacuum SuperString Field Theory](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/56816814550346895ddda65b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What we know
Two sets of basis:
SSFT proposes a hard, but a surmountable way to get answers concerning non-perturbative phenomena
i) related with spectrum of free string
ii) related with "strong coupling “ regime (may be suitable for study VSFT)
![Page 19: Vacuum SuperString Field Theory](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/56816814550346895ddda65b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What we have got in cubic SSFT
Tachyon condensation
Rolling tachyon near the top
Vacuum SSFT and some solutions
![Page 20: Vacuum SuperString Field Theory](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/56816814550346895ddda65b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Open Problems
More tests for checking validity of VSSFT
Other solutions (lump, kink solutions); especially with time dependence
Classification of projectors in open string field algebra and its physical meaning
Use the Moyal basis to construct the tachyon condensate and other solutions
Closed string excitations in VSSFT
