Some Exact Results on Tachyon Condensation in String Field Theory
The study of open string tachyon condensation in string field theory can be drastically simplified by making an appropriate choice of coordinates on the space of string fields. We show that a very natural coordinate system is suggested by the connection between the worldsheet renormalization group and spacetime physics. In this system only one field, the tachyon, condenses while all other field...
متن کاملOn Topological 2D String and Intersection Theory
The topological description of 2D string theory at the self-dual radius is studied in the algebro-geometrical formulation of the Ak+1 topological models at k = −3. Genus zero correlators of tachyons and their gravitational descendants are computed as intersection numbers on moduli space and compared to 2D string results. The interpretation of negative momentum tachyons as gravitational descenda...
متن کاملTopological Terms in String Theory on Orbifolds
We study toroidal orbifold models with topologically invariant terms in the path integral formalism and give physical interpretations of the terms from an operator formalism point of view. We briefly discuss a possibility of a new class of modular invariant orbifold models.

متن کاملExact Black Hole Degeneracies and the Topological String
Motivated by the recent conjecture of Ooguri, Strominger and Vafa, we compute the semi-canonical partition function of BPS black holes in N = 4 and N = 8 string theories, to all orders in perturbation theory. Not only are the black hole partition functions surprisingly simple; they capture the full topological string amplitudes, as expected from the OSV conjecture. The agreement is not perfect,...
متن کاملTopological Amplitudes in String Theory
We show that certain type II string amplitudes at genus g are given by the topologi-cal partition function F g discussed recently by Bershadsky, Cecotti, Ooguri and Vafa. These amplitudes give rise to a term in the four-dimensional effective action of the form g F g W 2g , where W is the chiral superfield of N = 2 supergravitational multi-plet. The holomorphic anomaly of F g is related to non-l...
