Localized tachyon mass and a g-theorem analogue

چکیده

We study the localized tachyon condensation (LTC) of non-supersymmetric orbifold backgrounds in their mirror Landau-Ginzburg picture. Using he existence of four copies of (2,2) worldsheet supersymmetry, we show at the CFT level, that the minimal tachyon mass in twisted sectors shows somewhat analogous properties of cor g-function. Namely, m := |α′M2 min| satisfies m(M) ≥ m(D1 ⊕D2) = max{m(D1),m(D2)}. cgmfunctions share the common property f(M) ≥ f(D1⊕D2) for f = c, g,m, although they have different behavior in detail. Work supported partially by the department of Energy under contract number DE-AC03-76SF005515. Permanent address

We discuss the localized tachyon condensation in the non-supersymmetric orbifold theories by taking the cosmological constant as the measure of degrees of freedom. We show that both localized and delocalized degrees of freedom encode information on the process of localized tachyon condensation: the former encodes in the c-function given by the lightest tachyon mass, and the latter in the g-func...

Localized tachyon condensation and G-parity conservation

We study the condensation of localized tachyon in non-supersymmetric orbifold. We first show that the G-parity of chiral primaries are preserved under the condensation of localized tachyon(CLT). Using this, we finalize the proof of the conjecture that the lowest-tachyon-mass-squared increases under CLT at the level of type II string with full consideration of GSO projection. We also show the eq...

We discuss the localized tachyon condensation in the non-supersymmetric orbifold theories by taking the cosmological constant as the measure of degrees of freedom (d.o.f). We first show asymptotic density of state is not a proper quantity to count the ’localized’ d.o.f. We then show that localized d.o.f lead us a c-function given by the lightest tachyon mass, which turns out to be the same as t...

Chiral rings, Mirror Symmetry and the Fate of Localized Tachyons

We study the localized tachyon condensation of non-supersymmetric orbifold backgrounds in their mirror Landau-Ginzburg picture. We first show that the R-charges of chiral primaries increase under the process of condensing the tachyon in the same chiral ring. Then, utilizing the existence of four copies of (2,2) worldsheet supersymmetry, we show that the minimal tachyon mass in twisted sectors i...
