A suitable splitting of tachyon field equation is able to disclose non trivial properties of Born-Infeld (some known, some unexpected) and Polyakov actions; the tachyon equation also can be analyzed in some detail. The analysis displays an…
Recent work has shown that unstable D-branes in two dimensional string theory are represented by eigenvalues in a dual matrix model. We elaborate on this proposal by showing how to systematically include higher order effects in string…

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…
We calculate the bosonic boundary state associated with a rotating and moving D$p$-brane in the presence of the antisymmetric tensor field, a $U(1)$ gauge field and a tachyon field. Rotation and motion are in the brane volume. We…
We analyze the possible configurations of D-branes breaking on other D-branes. We describe these configurations in the context of a brane-antibrane effective theory in two ways. First as a tachyon configuration representing a non-trivial…

This paper is devoted to the study of the tachyon kink on the worldvolume of a non-BPS Dp-brane that moves in a nontrivial background. We will show that the spatial dependent tachyon condensation leads to an emergence of a D(p-1)-brane…
We consider tachyon condensation between a D-brane and an anti-D-brane in superstring theory, when they are separated in their common transverse directions. A simple rolling tachyon solution, that describes the time evolution of the…
In this paper we present time dependent solution of the open bosonic string field theory describing the motion of the tachyon on unstable D-brane.
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 study the evolution of stable D-branes of C/Z_n and twisted circle theories in the process of closed string tachyon condensation. We interpret the fractional branes in these backgrounds as type II branes wrapping (`blown up') cycles, and…
We use tachyon field theory effective action to study the dynamics of a non-BPS Dp-brane propagating in the vicinity of k NS5-branes. For the time dependent tachyon condensation we will concentrate on the case of the large tachyon and the…
We consider how the time-dependent decay process of an unstable D-brane should be described in the full (quantum) open-closed string theory. It is argued that the system, starting from the unstable D-brane configuration, will evolve in time…
We consider the classical motion of a probe D-brane moving in the background geometry of a ring of NS5 branes, assuming that the latter are non-dynamical. We analyse the solutions to the Dirac-Born-Infield (DBI) action governing the…
We propose an action for unstable Dp-brane with dynamical tension. We show that the equations of motion are equivalent to the equations of motion derived from DBI and WZ actions for non-BPS Dp-brane. We also find Hamiltonian formulation of…
We examine the fluctuations around a Dp-brane solution in an unstable D-brane system using boundary states and also boundary string field theory. We show that the fluctuations correctly reproduce the fields on the Dp-brane. Plugging these…
