Time Evolution in Superstring Field Theory on Non-bps Brane. I. Rolling Tachyon and Energy-momentum Conservation
نویسنده
چکیده
We derive equations of motion for the tachyon field living on an unstable non-BPS D-brane in the level truncated open cubic superstring field theory in the first non-trivial approximation. We construct a special time dependent solution to this equation which describes the rolling tachyon. It starts from the perturbative vacuum and approaches one of stable vacua in infinite time. We investigate conserved energy functional and show that its different parts dominate in different stages of the evolution. We show that the pressure for this solution has its minimum at zero time and maximum at infinite time.

Tachyon Condensation in Cubic Superstring Field Theory
It has been conjectured that at the stationary point of the tachyon potential for the non-BPS D-brane or brane-anti-D-brane pair of superstring theories, the negative energy density cancels the brane tension. We study this conjecture using a cubic superstring field theory with insertion of a double-step inverse picture changing operator. We compute the tachyon potential on levels 1 and 4, obtai...

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...

It has been conjectured that at the stationary point of the tachyon potential for the Dbrane-anti-D-brane pair or for the non-BPS D-brane of superstring theories, the negative energy density cancels the brane tensions. We study this conjecture using a Wess-ZuminoWitten-like open superstring field theory free of contact term divergences and recently shown to give 60% of the vacuum energy by cond...
متن کاملDirac-Born-Infeld Action on the Tachyon Kink and Vortex
The tachyon effective field theory describing the dynamics of a non-BPS D-brane in superstring theory has an infinitely thin but finite tension kink solution describing a codimension one BPS D-brane. We study the world-volume theory of massless modes on the kink, and show that the world volume action has precisely the Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) form without any higher derivative corrections. We ge...
