Comments on the Fate of unstable orbifolds

Abstract

We study the localized tachyon condensation in their mirror Landau-Ginzburg picture. We completely determine the decay mode of an unstable orbifold Cr/ZnC^r/Z_n, r=1,2,3r=1,2,3 under the condensation of a tachyon with definite R-charge and mass by extending the Vafa's work hep-th/0111105. Here, we give a simple method that works uniformly for all Cr/ZnC^r/Z_n. For C2/ZnC^2/Z_n, where method of toric geometry works, we give a proof of equivalence of our method with toric one. For Cr/ZnC^r/Z_n cases, the orbifolds decay into sum of rr far separated orbifolds.
