A simple mechanical analog of the field theory of tachyon matter
arXiv:hep-th/0210108
Abstract
In this brief note we show that the zero dimensional version of the field theory of tachyon matter proposed by Sen, provides an action integral formulation for the motion of a particle in the presence of Newtonian gravity and nonlinear damping (quadratic in velocity).
