Rolling down to D-brane and tachyon matter

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-10 v4

Abstract

We investigate the spatially inhomogeneous decay of an unstable D-brane and construct an asymptotic solution which describes a codimension one D-brane and the tachyon matter in boundary string field theory. In this solution, the tachyon matter exists around the lower-dimensional D-brane.
