Localized tachyon condensation and G-parity conservation

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-10 v3

Abstract

We study the condensation of localized tachyon in non-supersymmetric orbifold \C2/Zn{\C^2/\Z_n}. We first show that the G-parities of chiral primaries are preserved under the condensation of localized tachyon(CLT) given by the chiral primaries. Using this, we finalize the proof of the conjecture that the lowest-tachyon-mass-squared increases under CLT at the level of type II string with full consideration of GSO projection. We also show the equivalence between the GG-parity given by G=[jk1/n]+[jk2/n]G=[jk_1/n]+ [jk_2/n] coming from partition function and that given by G={jk1/n}k2{jk2/n}k1G=\{jk_1/n\}k_2 -\{jk_2/n\}k_1 coming from the monomial construction for the chiral primaires in the dual mirror picture.
