Toda systems in closed string tachyon condensation

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-11 v1

Abstract

We consider tttt^* equations appearing in the study of localized tachyon condensations. They are described by various Toda system when we consider the condensation by the lowest tachyon corresponding to the monomial xyxy. The tachyon potential is calculated as a solution to these equations. The Toda system appearing in the deformation of \C2/Zn\C^2/\Z_n by xyxy is identical to that of DnD_n singularity deformed by xx. For \C3/Zn\C^3/\Z_n with xyzxyz deformation, we find only generic non-simple form, similar to the case appearing in \C/Z5\C/Z3\C/\Z_5\to \C/\Z_3 and we discuss the difficulties in these cases.
