Spacetime decay of cones at strong coupling

Abstract

We study time dependent solutions in dilaton gravity which correspond to the decay of conical spacetimes. In string theory this can be interpreted as a strong coupling limit of the decay of a non-supersymmetric orbifold spacetime with localized tachyons.
