Toda systems in closed string tachyon condensation
We consider tt∗ equations appearing in the study of localized tachyon condensations. They are described by various Toda system when we consider the condensation by the lowest tachyon corresponding to the monomial xy. The tachyon potential is calculated as a solution to these equations. The Toda system appearing in the deformation of C/Zn by xy is identical to that of Dn singularity deformed by ...
متن کاملBackreaction in Closed String Tachyon Condensation
We consider backreaction due to production of massless strings in the background of a condensing closed string tachyon. Working in the region of weak tachyon, we find the modified equations of motion for massless strings with conformal perturbation theory. We solve for the positive and negative frequency modes and estimate the backreaction on the background dilaton. In large (supercritical) dim...
متن کاملClosed String Tachyon Condensation and Worldsheet Inflation
Closed string tachyon condensation in spacetime generates potentials on the worldsheet that model two-dimensional inflationary cosmology. These models illustrate and elucidate a variety of aspects of inflation, in particular the generation of quantum fluctuations and their back-reaction on geometry. We exhibit a class of Liouville gravity models coupled to matter that can exhibit, for example: ...
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 کاملOrientifolds, RG Flows, and Closed String Tachyons
We discuss the fate of certain tachyonic closed string theories from two perspectives. In both cases our approach involves studying directly configurations with finite negative treelevel cosmological constant. Closed string analogues of orientifolds, which carry negative tension, are argued to represent the minima of the tachyon potential in some cases. In other cases, we make use of the fact, ...
