Abstract

An appropriate field configuration in non-polynomial closed string field theory is shown to correspond to a general off-shell field configuration in low energy effective field theory. A set of string field theoretic symmetries that act on the fields in low energy effective field theory as general coordinate transformation and antisymmetric tensor gauge transformation is identified. The analysis is carried out to first order in the fields; thus the symmetry transformations in string field theory reproduce the linear and the first non-linear terms in the gauge transformations in the low energy effective field theory.
