How to Stop (Worrying and Love) the Bubble: Boundary Changing Solutions
arXiv:hep-th/0701183 · doi:10.1088/1126-6708/2007/07/076
Abstract
We discover that a class of bubbles of nothing are embedded as time dependent scaling limits of previous spacelike-brane solutions. With the right initial conditions, a near-bubble solution can relax its expansion and open the compact circle. Thermodynamics of the new class of solutions is discussed and the relationships between brane/flux transitions, tachyon condensation and imaginary D-branes are outlined. Finally, a related class of simultaneous connected S-branes are also examined.
