Tachyon Kinks in Boundary String Field Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We study tachyon kinks with and without electromagnetic fields in the context of boundary string field theory. For the case of pure tachyon only an array of kinkantikink is obtained. In the presence of electromagnetic coupling, all possible static codimension-one soliton solutions such as array of kink-antikink, single topological BPS kink, bounce, half kink, as well as nonBPS topological kink are found, and their properties including the interpretation as branes are analyzed in detail. Spectrum of the obtained kinks coincides with that of Dirac-Born-Infeld type effective theory.

Tachyon condensation and Boundary States in Bosonic String
We discuss tachyon configuration for the unoriented bosonic string theory which produces a bosonic string theory with SO(32) gauge symmetry in ten dimensions. It is closely related to the tachyon condensation scenario proposed by A. Sen. We also give the boundary state description of the tachyon condensation process, with some emphasis on the rôle of orbifold conformal field theory. Talk given ...
متن کاملNoncommutative Tachyon Kinks as D(p− 1)-branes from Unstable Dp-brane
We study noncommutative (NC) field theory of a real NC tachyon and NC U(1) gauge field, describing the dynamics of an unstable Dp-brane. For every given set of diagonal component of open string metric G0, NC parameter θ0, and interpolating electric field Ê, we find all possible static NC kinks as exact solutions, in spite of complicated NC terms, which are classified by an array of NC kink-anti...
متن کاملWorldsheet Description of Tachyon Condensation in Open String Theory
In this thesis we review the fundamental framework of boundary string field theory (BSFT) and apply it to the tachyon condensation on non-BPS systems in the superstring theory. The boundary string field theory can be regarded as a natural extension of the nonlinear sigma model. By using this theory we can describe the tachyon condensation exactly and also obtain the effective actions on non-BPS...
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 کاملDescent Relation of Tachyon Condensation from Boundary String Field Theory
We analyze how lower-dimensional bosonic D-branes further decay, using the boundary string field theory. Especially we find that the effective tachyon potential of the lower-dimensional D-brane has the same profile as that of D25-brane. ∗[email protected] †[email protected]
