Original abstract
Starting from the gauge invariant action for free string field theory with boundary recently constructed in 2506.05969, we define new gauge invariant observables which are analogous to the Brown-York charges of General Relativity. Just like the Brown-York charges, our observables originate from a boundary tadpole, and are associated to isometries of the SFT gauge group around a given background. The consistency of the construction requires the equation of motion of the background to be satisfied only at the boundary and therefore these observables can also be defined for backgrounds generated by sources in the bulk. As examples of our construction in open string field theory, we compute the flux through the boundary of constant electromagnetic field-strength solutions and the charge associated to the Coulomb solution. As a further example in closed string field theory, we characterize the infinite conserved charges associated to stringy-haired black-hole solutions in two-dimensional string theory. We also construct a generalization of these boundary observables to the full interacting string field theory.
