Disorder on the landscape
Dmitry I. Podolsky, Jaydeep Majumder, Niko Jokela
Disorder on the string theory landscape may significantly affect dynamics of eternal inflation leading to the possibility for some vacua on the landscape to become dynamically pref…
Timelike Boundary Sine-Gordon Theory and Two-Component Plasma
Niko Jokela, Esko Keski-Vakkuri, Jaydeep Majumder
It has long been known that there is a relation between boundary sine-Gordon theory and thermodynamics of charge neutral two-component Coulomb plasma on a unit circle. On the other…
Disk Partition Function and Oscillatory Rolling Tachyons
Niko Jokela, Matti Jarvinen, Esko Keski-Vakkuri +1
An exact cubic open string field theory rolling tachyon solution was recently found by Kiermaier et. al. and Schnabl. This oscillatory solution has been argued to be related by a f…
A Thermodynamic Interpretation of Time for Rolling Tachyons
Vijay Balasubramanian, Niko Jokela, Esko Keski-Vakkuri +1
We show that the open string worldsheet description of brane decay (discussing a specific example of a rolling tachyon background) can be related to a sequence of points of thermod…
Fractional Branes in Non-compact Type IIA Orientifolds
Jaydeep Majumder, Subir Mukhopadhyay, Koushik Ray
We study fractional D-branes in the Type-IIA theory on a non-compact orientifold of the orbifold C^3/Z_3 in the boundary state formalism. We find that the fractional D0-branes of t…
On Superstring Disk Amplitudes in a Rolling Tachyon Background
Niko Jokela, Esko Keski-Vakkuri, Jaydeep Majumder
We study the tree level scattering or emission of n closed superstrings from a decaying non-BPS brane in Type II superstring theory. We attempt to calculate generic n-point superst…
