| contents | We continue our analysis of open string field theory based on A-infinity-algebras obtained from Witten's theory by attaching stubs to the elementary vertex. Classical solutions of the new theory can be obtained from known analytic solutions in Witten's theory by applying a cohomomorphism. In a previous work, two such cohomomorphisms were found, one non-cyclic, obtained from the homological perturbation lemma and another cyclic one by geometric methods. Here we show that the two resulting maps are related by a combination of a gauge transformation and a term vanishing on-shell. In the second part of the paper we generalize the whole construction to non-BPZ even stubs, in particular sliver frame stubs. We discuss algebraic and geometric aspects and analyze the resulting conditions on the homotopy operator. Moreover, we explicitly calculate the first few orders of the new A-infinity-algebra solution for the tachyon vacuum in the sliver frame. |
