Rolling to the tachyon vacuum in string field theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We argue that the rolling-tachyon solution in cubic OSFT proceeds at late times to precisely the analytic tachyon-vacuum solution constructed by Schnabl. In addition, we demonstrate the relationship between the rolling-tachyon solution and the standard BCFT description by showing that there is a finite gauge transformation which relates the two.

Marginally Deformed Rolling Tachyon around the Tachyon Vacuum in Open String Field Theory
We investigate the string field theory around the tachyon vacuum. By using the vanishing cohomology we prove that all perturbative solutions are pure gauge forms up to gauge transformations at the tachyon vacuum. For a special choice of gauge function, marginal deformation from the tachyon vacuum is allowed due to nontrivial roles of Schnabl’s analytic vacuum solution. We construct an exact rol...
متن کاملLight-like tachyon condensation in Open String Field Theory
We use open string field theory to study the dynamics of unstable branes in the bosonic string theory, in the background of a generic linear dilaton. We find a simple exact solution describing a dynamical interpolation between the perturbative vacuum and the recently discovered nonperturbative tachyon vacuum. In our solution, the open string tachyon increases exponentially along a null directio...
متن کاملExact Rolling Tachyon in Noncommutative Field Theory
We find exact rolling tachyon solutions in DBI type noncommutative field theory with constant open string metric and noncommutative parameter on an unstable Dp-brane. Their functional shapes span all possible homogeneous rolling tachyon solutions, i.e., they are hyperbolic-cosine, hyperbolic-sine, and exponential under 1/ cosh runaway NC tachyon potential. Even if general DBI type NC electric f...
متن کاملRolling Tachyon Solution in Vacuum String Field Theory
We construct a time-dependent solution in vacuum string field theory and investigate whether the solution can be regarded as a rolling tachyon solution. First, compactifying one space direction on a circle of radius R, we construct a spacedependent solution given as an infinite number of ∗-products of a string field with center-of-mass momentum dependence of the form e 2/4. Our time-dependent s...
متن کاملDynamics with Infinitely Many Time Derivatives and Rolling Tachyons
Both in string field theory and in p-adic string theory the equations of motion involve infinite number of time derivatives. We argue that the initial value problem is qualitatively different from that obtained in the limit of many time derivatives in that the space of initial conditions becomes strongly constrained. We calculate the energy-momentum tensor and study in detail time dependent sol...
