Birth of Closed Strings and Death of Open Strings during Tachyon Condensation
Koji Hashimoto, Pei-Ming Ho, John E. Wang
The tremendous progress achieved through the study of black holes and branes suggests that their time dependent generalizations called Spacelike branes (S-branes) may prove similar…
Weyl Card Diagrams and New S-brane Solutions of Gravity
Gregory Jones, John E. Wang
We construct a new card diagram which accurately draws Weyl spacetimes and represents their global spacetime structure, singularities, horizons and null infinity. As examples we sy…
De Sitter Bounces
H. Lu, J. F. Vazquez-Poritz, John E. Wang
By analytically continuing recently-found instantons, we construct time-dependent solutions of Einstein-Maxwell de Sitter gravity which smoothly bounce between two de Sitter phases…
Twisting S-branes
John E. Wang
Smooth time dependent supergravity solutions corresponding to analytic continuations of Kerr black holes are constructed and limits with a local de Sitter phase are found. These so…
