Abstract
We formulate string field theory geometrically by writing each term in the field theory action. as an expectation value in the 2-dimensional conformal field theory on the world surface. We show how the symmetries of the theory can be analyzed and the gauge invariance demonstrated from this point of view. As an application, we give a complete proof of the gauge invariance of Witten's open string field theory.

An explicit construction of closed-string states is given in terms of open- string oscillators acting on the open-string Fock vacuum, which implies that the closed- string states obey, level by level, the linearized equation of motion of the cubic action.
