Kinky D-branes and straight strings of open string tachyon effective theory
In this letter, using the effective action of non-BPS tachyonic D-branes, we construct the kink D1-brane super D-helix solution and its T-dual the D2-brane supertube. In the limit of zero angular momentum, both types of solutions collapse to zero radius, giving rise respectively to a degenerate string configuration corresponding to a particle travelling with the speed of light and to a static s...
متن کاملTachyon Effective Actions In Open String Theory
We argue that the Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) action coupled to a tachyon, that is known to reproduce some aspects of open string dynamics, can be obtained from open string theory in a certain limit, which generalizes the limit leading to the usual DBI action. This helps clarify which aspects of the full open string theory are captured by this action.
متن کاملLectures on D - branes , tachyon condensation , and string field theory
These lectures provide an introduction to the subject of tachyon condensation in the open bosonic string. The problem of tachyon condensation is first described in the context of the low-energy Yang-Mills description of a system of multiple D-branes, and then using the language of string field theory. An introduction is given to Witten's cubic open bosonic string field theory. The Sen conjectur...
متن کاملD - branes as Tachyon Lumps in String Field Theory
It has been conjectured that the tachyonic lump solution of the open bosonic string field theory describing a D-brane represents a D-brane of one lower dimension. We place the lump on a circle of finite radius and develop a variant of the level expansion scheme that allows systematic account of all higher derivative terms in the string field theory action, and gives a calculational scheme that ...
متن کاملLiouville D-branes in Two-Dimensional Strings and Open String Field Theory
We study open strings in the noncritical c = 1 bosonic string theory compactified on a circle at self-dual radius. These strings live on D-branes that are extended along the Liouville direction (FZZT branes). We present explicit expressions for the disc twoand three-point functions of boundary operators in this theory, as well as the bulk-boundary two-point function. The expressions obtained ar...
