Winding String Condensation and Noncommutative Deformation of Spacelike Singularity
نویسنده
چکیده
In a previous paper (hep-th/0509067) using matrix model, we showed that closed string tachyons can resolve spacelike singularity in one particular class of Misner space (with anti-periodic boundary conditions for fermions around the spatial circle). In this note, we show that for Misner space without closed string tachyons, there also exists a mechanism to resolve the singularity in the context of the matrix model, namely cosmological winding string production. We show that here space and time also become noncommutative due to these winding strings. Employing optical theorem, we study the bulk boundary coupling by calculating the four-open-string cylinder amplitudes.

Dimensional Mutation and Spacelike Singularities
I argue that string theory compactified on a Riemann surface crosses over at small volume to a higher dimensional background of supercritical string theory. Several concrete measures of the count of degrees of freedom of the theory yield the consistent result that at finite volume, the effective dimensionality is increased by an amount of order 2h/V for a surface of genus h and volume V in stri...
متن کاملWinding tachyons in BTZ
Analysing closed string tachyon condensation will improve our understanding of spacetime in string theory. We study the string spectrum on a BTZ black hole spacetime supported by NS-NS flux, which provides a calculable example where we would expect to find a quasi-localised tachyon. We find that there is a winding tachyon when the black hole horizon is smaller than the string scale, as expected...

It has often been suggested that winding string modes may help to resolve the initial singularity in cosmology. In particular, it has been suggested that closed string tachyon condensation can perform this feat. We argue that string windings may well solve the singularity problem, but probably not by removing the singularity: instead, the singularity may be rendered unphysical in the sense of b...

It has often been suggested that strings propagating on spatial sections with one or more dimensions compactified to a circle might help to resolve the initial singularity in cosmology. Assuming that Inflation occurred, it can however be shown, under extremely mild assumptions, that spatial sections having first homology groups which contain an element of infinite order actually worsen the sing...
