Tachyon Effective Actions In Open String Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
We argue that the Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) action coupled to a tachyon, that is known to reproduce some aspects of open string dynamics, can be obtained from open string theory in a certain limit, which generalizes the limit leading to the usual DBI action. This helps clarify which aspects of the full open string theory are captured by this action.

Proposal for the Open String Tachyon Effective Action in the Linear Dilaton
In this paper we propose tachyon effective actions for unstable D-branes in superstring and bosonic string theories in the presence of the linear dilaton background .
متن کاملNotes on Tachyon Effective Actions and Veneziano Amplitudes
In a previous paper (hep-th/0304045) it has been argued that tachyonic Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) actions can be obtained from open string theory in a limit, which generalizes the usual massless DBI limit. In the present note we review this construction focusing on a key property of the proposed tachyon effective actions: how they reproduce appropriate Veneziano amplitudes in a suitably defined ki...
متن کاملA note on tachyon actions in string theory
A number of spacetime fields in string theory—notably the metric, dilaton, bulk (bosonic and type 0) closed string tachyon, and bosonic open string tachyon—have the property that, whenever the spacetime field configuration factorizes in an appropriate sense, the matter sector of the world-sheet theory factorizes into a tensor product of two decoupled theories. Since the beta functions for such ...
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 کاملClosed-string Tachyon Condensation and On-shell Effective Action of Open-string Tachyons
We study how the effect of closed-string tachyon condensation can enter into the on-shell effective action of open-string tachyons, for bosonic case. We also consider the open-string one-loop quantum corrections to the action. We use sigma-model approach with boundary terms, and we utilize some results of boundary string field theory (BSFT) to define the on-shell effective action. We regard D-i...
