ADHM is Tachyon Condensation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We completely realize the ADHM construction of instantons in D-brane language of tachyon condensations. Every step of the construction is given a physical interpretation in string theory, in a boundary state formalism valid all order in α. Accordingly, equivalence between Yang-Mills configurations on D4-branes and D0-branes inside the D4-branes is proven, which shows that small instanton configurations of the Yang-Mills fields are protected against stringy α corrections. We provide also D-brane realizations of the inverse ADHM construction, the completeness, and the noncommutative ADHM construction.

Lectures on D - branes , tachyon condensation , and string field theory
These lectures provide an introduction to the subject of tachyon condensation in the open bosonic string. The problem of tachyon condensation is first described in the context of the low-energy Yang-Mills description of a system of multiple D-branes, and then using the language of string field theory. An introduction is given to Witten's cubic open bosonic string field theory. The Sen conjectur...
متن کاملTachyon 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 کاملClosed String Tachyon Condensation: An Overview
These notes are an expanded version of a review lecture on closed string tachyon condensation at the RTN workshop in Copenhagen in September 2003. We begin with a lightning review of open string tachyon condensation, and then proceed to review recent results on localized closed string tachyon condensation, focusing on two simple systems, C/Zn orbifolds and twisted circle compactifications.
متن کاملMirror Symmetry and Closed String Tachyon Condensation
We study closed string tachyon condensation using the RG flow of the worldsheet theory. In many cases the worldsheet theory enjoys N = 2 supersymmetry, which provides analytic control over the flow, due to non-renormalization theorems. Moreover, Mirror symmetry sheds light on the RG flow in such cases. We discuss the relevant tachyon condensation in the context of both compact and non-compact s...
متن کاملFate of unoriented bosonic string after tachyon condensation
By a toroidal compactification with a vortex like configuration of tachyon fields, the unoriented bosonic strings in 26 dimensions is equivalent to 10 dimensional string theory with gauge group SO(32)× G where G has rank 16. The reduction from SO(8192) to SO(32) is induced by the action of non-abelian Wilson lines which twists the tachyon. The additional enhanced gauge symmetry G appears from c...
