Inhomogeneous Fragmentation of the Rolling Tachyon
Dirac-Born-Infeld type effective actions reproduce many aspects of string theory classical tachyon dynamics of unstable Dp-branes. The inhomogeneous tachyon field rolling from the top of its potential forms topological defects of lower codimensions. In between them, as we show, the tachyon energy density fragments into a p-dimensional web-like high density network evolving with time. We present...
متن کاملOn open superstring partition function in inhomogeneous rolling tachyon background
We consider open superstring partition function Z on the disc in time-dependent tachyon background T = f(xi)e μx0 where the profile function f depends on spatial coordinates. We compute Z to second order in derivatives of f and compare the result with some previously suggested effective actions depending only on first derivatives of the tachyon field. We also compute the target-space stress-ene...
متن کاملRolling Tachyon
We discuss construction of classical time dependent solutions in open string (field) theory, describing the motion of the tachyon on unstable D-branes. Despite the fact that the string field theory action contains infinite number of time derivatives, and hence it is not a priori clear how to set up the initial value problem, the theory contains a family of time dependent solutions characterized...
متن کاملCosmology of rolling tachyon
Recent analysis of string theory 1,2,3 suggests that classical dynamics of tachyon on an unstable D-brane is described by a scalar Born-Infeld type action with a runaway potential 4. Characteristic of such tachyon effective theory is absence of perturbative tachyonic modes around the potential minimum and existence of spatially homogeneous rolling tachyon configuration 5. In the background of t...
متن کاملQuantum rolling tachyon
We consider the quantum treatment of the rolling tachyon background describing the decay of D-branes in the limit of weak string coupling. We focus on the propagation of an open string in the fluctuating background and show how the boundary string action is modified by quantum effects. A bilocal term in the boundary action is generated which, however, does not spoil the vanishing of the β funct...
