We review the recent studies of tachyon condensation in string field theory. After introducing the open string field theory both for bosonic string and for superstring, we use them to examine the conjecture that the unstable configurations…
In this paper we propose the toy model of the closed string tachyon effective action that has marginal tachyon profile as its exact solution in case of constant or linear dilaton background. Then we will apply this model for description of…
Using Griffiths and Lieb-Simon type inequalities, it is shown that the two-point function of ferromagnetic spin models with N components in one dimension decays like the interaction provided that N=1,2,3,4 and T > T_c.
We consider open superstring partition function Z on the disc in time-dependent tachyon background T= f(x_i) e^{m x_0} where the profile function f depends on spatial coordinates. We compute Z to second order in derivatives of f and compare…
Both in string field theory and in p-adic string theory the equations of motion involve infinite number of time derivatives. We argue that the initial value problem is qualitatively different from that obtained in the limit of many time…
We compute three and four point functions of the non-BPS scattering amplitudes, including a closed string Ramond-Ramond, gauge/scalar and tachyon in type IIA (IIB) superstring theories. We then discover a unique expansion for tachyon…
We propose a formalism inspired by matrix models to compute open and closed topological string amplitudes in the B-model on toric Calabi-Yau manifolds. We find closed expressions for various open string amplitudes beyond the disk, and in…
The entire S-matrix elements of four, five and six point functions of D-brane-anti D-brane system are explored. To deal with symmetries of string amplitudes as well as their all order $\alpha'$ corrections we first address a four point…
We consider timelike Liouville theory with FZZT-like boundary conditions. The bulk one-point and boundary two-point structure constants on a disk are derived using bootstrap. We find that these structure constants are not the analytic…
Factorization of the $N$-tachyon amplitudes in two-dimensional $c=1$ quantum gravity is studied by means of the operator product expansion of vertex operators after the Liouville zero mode integration. Short-distance singularities between…
We use the low energy effective theory of string theory to investigate condensations of closed string tachyons propagating in the bulk. The c-function is related to the total energy of the system via the effective action. A possible…
We compute one-point function of the glueball loop operator in the maximally confining phase of supersymmetric gauge theory using instanton calculus. In the maximally confining phase the residual symmetry is the diagonal U(1) subgroup and…
In these talks we review some of the recent results on open strings and noncommutative gauge theories, starting from the early calculations of open strings in a constant electromagnetic background. We discuss both the neutral string and the…
We consider the non-trivial boundary conformal field theory with exactly marginal boundary deformation. In recent years this deformation has been studied in the context of rolling tachyons and S-branes in string theory. Here we study the…
In this paper, we have considered closed string tachyon model with a constant dilaton field and interacted it with Chaplygin gas for evaluating cosmology parameters. The model has been studied in $26$-dimensional that its $22$-dimensional…
Three-point correlation function in perturbed conformal field theory coupled to two-dimensional quantum gravity (perturbed Liouville gravity) is explicitly computed by using the free field approach. The representation considered here is the…

We construct a time-dependent solution in vacuum string field theory and investigate whether the solution can be regarded as a rolling tachyon solution. First, compactifying one space direction on a circle of radius R, we construct a…
We show the factorization of correlation functions of tachyon operators in 2D string theory using the discretized approach of Moore. Our demonstration of the factorization is more general than that of the paper of Sakai and Tanii. We obtain…
