Note on Noncommutative Tachyon in Matrix Models
نویسنده
چکیده
The solution representing a brane-anti-brane system in matrix models breaks the usual matrix spacetime symmetry. We show that the spacetime symmetry on the branes is not broken, rather appears as a combination of the matrix spacetime transformation and a gauge transformation. As a result, the tachyon field, itself an off-diagonal entry in longitudinal matrices, transforms nontrivially under rotations, decomposing into tensors of different ranks. We also show that the tachyon field can never be gauged away, and conjecture that this field is related to the usual complex scalar tachyon by a field redefinition. We also briefly discuss tachyon condensation.

Matrix Quantum Mechanics and Soliton Regularization of Noncommutative Field Theory
We construct an approximation to field theories on the noncommutative torus based on soliton projections and partial isometries which together form a matrix algebra of functions on the sum of two circles. The matrix quantum mechanics is applied to the perturbative dynamics of scalar field theory, to tachyon dynamics in string field theory, and to the Hamiltonian dynamics of noncommutative gauge...
متن کاملA note on the decay of noncommutative solitons
We propose an ansatz for the equations of motion of the noncommutative model of a tachyonic scalar field interacting with a gauge field, which allows one to find time-dependent solutions describing decaying solitons. These correspond to the collapse of lower dimensional branes obtained through tachyon condensation of unstable brane systems in string theory. Noncommutative field theory was shown...
متن کاملExact Rolling Tachyon in Noncommutative Field Theory
We find exact rolling tachyon solutions in DBI type noncommutative field theory with constant open string metric and noncommutative parameter on an unstable Dp-brane. Their functional shapes span all possible homogeneous rolling tachyon solutions, i.e., they are hyperbolic-cosine, hyperbolic-sine, and exponential under 1/ cosh runaway NC tachyon potential. Even if general DBI type NC electric f...
متن کاملDissolving D0-brane into D2-brane with background B-field
D0-branes on a D2-brane with a constant background B-field are unstable due to the presence of a tachyonic mode and expected to dissolve into the D2-brane to formulate a constant D0-charge density. In this paper we study such a dissolution process in terms of a noncommutative gauge theory. Our results show that the localized D0-brane spreads out over all of space on the D2-brane as the tachyon ...
متن کاملExact Tachyon Condensation on Noncommutative Torus
We construct the exact noncommutative solutions on tori. This gives an exact description of tachyon condensation on bosonic D-branes, non-BPS D-branes and brane-antibrane systems. We obtain various bound states of D-branes after the tachyon condensation. Our results show that these solutions can be generated by applying the gauge Morita equivalence between the constant curvature projective modu...
