Cosmology of Rolling Tachyon

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We study dynamics of rolling tachyon and Abelian gauge field on unstable D-branes, of which effective action is given by Born-Infeld type nonlocal action. Possible cosmological evolutions are also discussed. In the Einstein frame of string cosmology, every expanding flat universe is proven to be decelerating.
