Stretched strings in tachyon condensation models
arXiv:hep-th/0203108 · doi:10.1088/1126-6708/2002/05/024
Abstract
In this note, we consider the two derivative truncation of boundary string field theory for unstable D9 branes in Type IIA string theory. We construct multiples of the stable codimension 1 solitons that correspond to stacks of D8 branes. We find the fluctuation modes that correspond to open strings stretching between the branes, and find that their masses are consistent with the string tension. We show that these modes are localized halfway between the branes and that their width is independent of the brane separation.
