Tachyon Condensation in Large Magnetic Fields with Background Independent String Field Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss the problem of tachyon condensation in the framework of background independent open string field theory. We show, in particular, that the computation of the string field theory action simplifies considerably if one looks at closed string backgrounds with a large Bab field, and can be carried out exactly for a generic tachyon profile. We confirm previous results on the form of the exact tachyon potential, and we find, within this framework, solitonic solutions which correspond to lower dimensional unstable branes.

Normalisation of the Background Independent Open String Field Theory Action
It has been shown recently that the background independent open string field theory provides an exact description of the tachyon condensation on unstable D-branes of bosonic string theory. In this analysis the overall normalisation of the action was chosen so that it reproduces the conjectured relations involving tachyon condensation. In this paper we fix this normalisation by comparing the on-...
متن کاملTachyon Condensation and Background Independent Superstring Field Theory
We study quantum corrections at the one loop level in open superstring tachyon condensation using the boundary string field theory (BSFT) method. We find that the tachyon field action has the same form as at the disc level, but with a renormalized effective coupling λ = g s e −T /4 (g s is the renormalized dimensionless closed string coupling, e /4 is the tachyonic field expectation value) and ...
متن کاملString Field Theory and the Fuzzy Sphere
We use boundary string field theory to study open string tachyon condensation on a three-sphere closed string background. We consider the closed string background described by SU(2)k WZW model in the limit of large k. We compute the exact tachyon potential and analyse the decay modes.
متن کاملTachyon condensation using the disc partition function
It has been recently proposed that the background independent open superstring field theory action is given by the disc partition function with all possible open string operators inserted at the boundary of the disc. We use this proposal to study tachyon condensation in the D0-D2 system. We evaluate the disc partition function for the D0-D2 system in presence of a large Neveu-Schwarz B-field us...
متن کاملA Review on Tachyon Condensation in Open String Field Theories
We review the recent studies of tachyon condensation in string field theory. After introducing the open string field theory both for bosonic string and for superstring, we use them to examine the conjecture that the unstable configurations of the D-brane will decay into the ‘closed string vacuum’ through the tachyon condensation. And we describe the attemps to construct a lower dimensional boso...
