Electrostatics approach to closed string pair production from a decaying D-brane
Niko Jokela, Matti Jarvinen, Esko Keski-Vakkuri
We consider the emission of two closed string tachyons from a decaying Dp-brane in bosonic string theory. We study the high energy limit of the emission amplitude by using an analo…
Inhomogeneous tachyon dynamics and the zipper
Niko Jokela, Matthew Lippert
We study the process of inhomogeneous tachyon condensation in an intersecting D1- and anti-D1-brane system using an effective tachyon DBI action. By switching to the Hamiltonian fo…
The energy-momentum tensor of perturbed tachyon matter
Niko Jokela, Matti Jarvinen, Esko Keski-Vakkuri
We add an initial nonhomogeneous perturbation to an otherwise homogeneous condensing tachyon background and compute its space time energy-momentum tensor from worldsheet string the…
Winding effects on brane/anti-brane pairs
Niko Jokela, Matti Jarvinen, Sean Nowling
We study a brane/anti-brane configuration which is separated along a compact direction by constructing a tachyon effective action which takes into account transverse scalars. Such…
