A Note on Perturbative and Nonperturbative Instabilities of Twisted Circles
arXiv:hep-th/0207131 · doi:10.1016/S0370-2693(02)02599-6
Abstract
In this short note we compare the endpoint of tachyon condensation of twisted circles with the endpoint of nonpertubative brane nucleation in the Kaluza-Klein Melvin spacetime.
