Inflation from Geometrical Tachyons
We propose an alternative formulation of tachyon inflation using the geometrical tachyon arising from the time dependent motion of a BPS D3-brane in the background geometry due to k parallel NS5-branes arranged around a ring of radius R. Due to the fact that the mass of this geometrical tachyon field is √ 2/k times smaller than the corresponding open-string tachyon mass, we find that the slow r...
متن کاملRolling Tachyons from Liouville theory
In this work we propose an exact solution of the c = 1 Liouville model, i.e. of the world-sheet theory that describes the homogeneous decay of a closed string tachyon. Our expressions are obtained through careful extrapolation from the correlators of Liouville theory with c ≥ 25. In the c = 1 limit, we find two different theories which differ by the signature of Liouville field. The Euclidean l...

متن کاملExact null tachyons from RG flows
We construct exact 2d CFTs, corresponding to closed string tachyon and metric profiles invariant under shifts in a null coordinate, which can be constructed from any 2d renormalization group flow. These solutions satisfy first order equations of motion in the conjugate null coordinate. The direction along which the tachyon varies is identified precisely with the wordsheet scale, and the tachyon...
متن کاملTachyons today
Much of my work as a Pappalardo Fellow has involved some puzzles that arise in certain string theories because of a very peculiar type of particle, called a tachyon. Here I’ll explain what a tachyon is and why it’s important to solve these puzzles. Along the way we’ll compare and contrast string theories with conventional particle theories. I should first clarify that when I say “theory” here I...
