D-branes in overcritical electric fields
arXiv:hep-th/0508071 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.73.026006
Abstract
We collect some arguments for treating a D-brane with overcritical electric field as a well-posed initial condition for a D-brane decay. Within the field theoretical toy model of Minahan and Zwiebach we give an estimate for the condensates of the related infinite tower of tachyonic excitations.
