## Abstract

We investigate a solution of the Weyl invariance conditions in open string theory in 4 dimensions. In the closed string sector this solution is a combination of the SU(2) Wess--Zumino--Witten model and a Liouville theory. The investigation is carried out in the $\\sigma$ model approach where we have coupled all massless modes (especially an abelian gauge field via the boundary) and tachyon fields. Neglecting all higher derivatives in the field strength we get an exact result which can be interpreted as a monopole configuration living in non--trivial space time. The masses of both tachyon fields are quantized by $c\_{wzw}$ and vanish for $c\_{wzw} = 1$.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
