The energy of the analytic lump solution in SFT

Understand

In a previous paper a method was proposed to find exact analytic solutions of open string field theory describing lower dimensional lumps, by incorporating in string field theory an exact renormalization group flow generated by a relevant operator in a worldsheet CFT.

• In this paper we compute the energy of one such solution, which is expected to represent a D24 brane.
• We show, both numerically and analytically, that its value corresponds to the theoretically expected one.
