We propose the relationships between the noncommutative solitons and the (fractional) D-branes on the C^2/Z_n orbifold and extend the solution generating technique for the orbifold. As applications, we determine how tachyon condensations…
We study quantum fluctuations of macroscopic parameters of an NLS breathers, i.e., the second-order soliton solution of the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation. Uncertainty relations for the parameters are derived and compared to similar…
Using boundary string field theory we study the decay of unstable D-branes to lower dimensional D-branes via the tachyon condensation at one loop level. We analyze one loop divergences and use the Fischler-Susskind mechanism to cancel…
In this note we reconsider the minisuperspace toy models for rolling and bouncing tachyons. We show that the theories require to choose boundary conditions at infinity since particles in an exponentially unbounded potential fall to infinity…
S(pacelike)D-branes are objects arising naturally in string theory when Dirichlet boundary conditions are imposed on the time direction. SD-brane physics is inherently time-dependent. Previous investigations of gravity fields of SD-branes…
We use the semiclassical formalism based on singular solutions in complex time to compute scattering rates for multiparticle production at high energies. In a weakly coupled $\lambda \phi^4$ scalar field theory in four dimensions, we…
We study the dynamics of parallel brane-brane and brane-antibrane scattering in string theory in flat spacetime, focusing on the pair production of open strings that stretch between the branes. We are particularly interested in the case of…
It has been conjectured that at the stationary point of the tachyon potential for the non-BPS D-brane or brane-anti-D-brane pair, the negative energy density cancels the brane tension. We study this conjecture using a cubic superstring…
In this paper closed string emission and open string pair production from the light-like rolling tachyon solution are calculated in subcritical string theory in the background of a linear dilaton. The rolling light-like tachyon represents…
We investigate the creation of scalar particles inside a region delimited by a bubble which is expanding with non-zero acceleration. The bubble is modelled as a thin shell and plays the role of a moving boundary, thus influencing the…
We consider branching Brownian motion on the real line with the following selection mechanism: Every time the number of particles exceeds a (large) given number $N$, only the $N$ right-most particles are kept and the others killed. After…
We study the non-linear dynamics of quantum fields in matter and radiation dominated universes, using the non-equilibrium field theory approach combined with the non-perturbative Hartree and the large N approximations. We examine the…
We discuss novel properties of the string field and the Open String Field Theory action arising in a system with multiple D-branes, then use the level truncation scheme to study marginal deformations and tachyon condensation in a system…
Topological defects are generically expected to form in models of brane inflation. Brane-anti-brane annihilation provides a way to gracefully end inflation, and the dynamics of the tachyon field results in defect formation. The formation of…
Recently, we introduced the active Dyson Brownian motion model (DBM), in which $N$ run-and-tumble particles interact via a logarithmic repulsive potential in the presence of a harmonic well. We found that in a broad range of parameters the…
We study the BSFT actions by using an analytic continuation in momentum space. We compute various two- and three- point functions for some low-lying excitations including massive states on BPS/non-BPS D-branes. The off-shell two-point…
We explore non-adiabatic particle production in a de Sitter universe for a scalar spectator field, by allowing the effective mass $m^2(t)$ of this field and the cosmic time interval between non-adiabatic events to vary stochastically. Two…
We study a model of Brownian particles which are pumped with energy by means of a non-linear friction function, for which different types are discussed. A suitable expression for a non-linear, velocity-dependent friction function is derived…
In this work I studied the production of particles (electron-positron pairs and photons) in the presence of overcritic ($\gg 4.4\cdot 10^{13} \text{gauss}$) slowly varying magnetic fields. The calculations are performed in the framework of…
In this short note we would like to propose a form for the action of a non-BPS D-brane, which will be manifestly supersymmetric invariant and T-duality covariant. We also explicitly show that tachyon condensation on the world-volume of this…
