Quantum deformation of cubic string field theory

Abstract: In this paper, we will analyze a quantum deformation of cubic string field theory. This will be done by first constructing a quantum deformation of string theory, in a covariant gauge, and then using the quantum deformed stringy theory to construct a quantum deformation of string field theory. This quantum deformed string field will then be used to contract a quantum deformed version of cubic string field theory. We will explicitly demonstrate that the axioms of cubic string field theory hold even after quantum deformation. Finally, we will analyze the effect of the quantum deformation of string field theory on the string vertices.
