It has been conjectured that a pair of D5 - anti D5 branes wrapped on some non-trivial two cycle of a Calabi-Yau manifold becomes a stable BPS D3 brane in the presence of a very large B field and magnetic fluxes on their worldvolumes. We…
A method of integral equations is developed to study inhomogeneous fluids with planar spins in an external field. As a result, the calculations for these systems appear to be no more difficult than those for ordinary homogeneous liquids.…

We find an interesting connection between perturbative large N gauge theory and closed superstrings. The gauge theory in question is found on N D3-branes placed at the tip of the cone R^6/Gamma. In our previous work we showed that, when the…
Assuming that around the tachyon vacuum the kinetic term of cubic open string field theory is made purely of ghost operators we are led to gauge invariant actions which manifestly implement the absence of open string dynamics around this…
We consider tachyonic string-field fluctuations about a Dp-brane background in the geometrical (CFT) formulation of Vacuum String Field Theory. We then extend this analysis to the case of a background B-field. We find that the standard…
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…
We show that a low-energy action for massless fluctuations around a tachyonic soliton background representing a codimension one D-brane coincides with the Dirac-Born-Infeld action. The scalar modes which describe transverse oscillations of…
In addition to the familiar string theories with spacetime supersymmetry, there exist a number of non-supersymmetric ten-dimensional superstrings. Nearly all of these theories have closed string tachyons, indicating a misidentification of…

In this paper we will study the quantum field theory of fluctuation modes around the classical solution that describes tachyon condensation on unstable D-brane.We will calculate the number of particle produced near the beginning of the…
The research is devoted to the stability of convective flow in a nonuniformly rotating layer of an electrically conducting fluid in a spiral magnetic field. The stationary and oscillatory modes of magnetic convection are considered…
We investigate the collective motion of magnetic rotors suspended in a viscous fluid under an uniform rotating magnetic field. The rotors are positioned on a square lattice, and low Reynolds hydrodynamics is assumed. For a $3 \times 3$…
We reconstruct the tachyon effective action for unstable D-branes in superstring theory by examining its behaviour near exactly marginal deformations, where the ambigous higher derivative terms can be eliminated. We then compare this action…
We give evidence based on level-truncation computations that the rolling tachyon in cubic open string field theory (CSFT) has a well-defined but wildly oscillatory time-dependent solution which goes as $e^t$ for $t \to -\infty$. We show…
Starting with exact solutions to string theory on curved spacetimes we obtain deformations that represent gravitational shock waves. These may exist in the presence or absence of sources. Sources are effectively induced by a tachyon field…
The Tachyon-Dirac-Born-Infeld (TDBI) action captures some aspects of the dynamics of non-BPS D-branes in type II string theory. We show that it can also be used to study the classical interactions of BPS branes and antibranes. Our analysis…
The periodic bounce of Born-Infeld theory of $D3$-branes is derived, and the BPS limit of infinite period is discussed as an example of tachyon condensation. The explicit bounce solution to the Born--Infeld action is interpreted as an…
Open string field theory in the level truncation approximation is considered. It is shown that the energy conservation law determines the existence of rolling tachyon solution. The coupling of the open string field theory action to a…
In this note, we investigate the homogeneous radial dynamics of (Dp, NS5)-systems without and with one compactified transverse direction, in the framework of DBI effective action. During the homogeneous evolution, the electric field on the…
