The boundary state corresponding to the D$p$-brane with a transverse rotation in the presence of the Kalb-Ramond and tachyon background fields and a $U(1)$ internal field will be constructed. We shall investigate effects of the open string…
We present a tachyon field, which simply connects to the calculus of the tachyon condensation. The tachyon field acts on any bare boundary state: the Neumann or the Dirichlet state, and generates the boundary state suggested by S.P. de…
We study DBI-type effective theory of an unstable D3-brane in the background manifold R^{1,1} x M_2 where M_2 is an arbitrary two-dimensional manifold. We obtain an exact tubular D2-brane solution of arbitrary cross sectional shape by…
We classify supersymmetric D0-Dp bound states with a non-zero B-field by considering T-dualities of intersecting branes at angles. Especially, we find that the D0-D8 system with the B-field preserves 1/16, 1/8 and 3/16 of supercharges if…
We construct an effective action describing brane-antibrane system containing N D-branes and N \bar{D}-branes. BPS equations for remaining D-branes after tachyon condensation are derived and their properties are investigated. The value of…
We search for tubular solutions in unstable D3-brane. With critical electric field E=1, solutions representing supertubes, which are supersymmetric bound states of fundamental strings, D0-branes, and a cylindrical D2-brane, are found and…
We study the process of inhomogeneous tachyon condensation in an intersecting D1- and anti-D1-brane system using an effective tachyon DBI action. By switching to the Hamiltonian formalism, we numerically solve for the dynamical evolution of…
We study bound states of D-p-branes and D-(p+2)-branes. By switching on a large magnetic field F on the (p+2) brane, the problem is shown to admit a perturbative analysis in an expansion in inverse powers of F. It is found that, to the…
This paper is devoted to the construction of stable and unstable Dp-branes in generalized Carroll space-times. We also study tachyon solutions on the world-volume of unstable Dp-brane in Carrollian background and discuss their physical…
A recently proposed \ell=\infty field theory model of tachyon dynamics for unstable bosonic D-branes has been shown to arise as the two-derivative truncation of (boundary)-string field theory. Using an \ell\to \infty limit appropriate to…
The existence of supersymmetric D0-branes at an arbitrary distance from a flux 5-brane is proven. The physical picture in type IIA is consistent with the Kaluza-Klein reduction origin of the flux 5-brane. An analysis of the fluctuations…
We analyze how lower-dimensional bosonic D-branes further decay, using the boundary string field theory. Especially we find that the effective tachyon potential of the lower-dimensional D-brane has the same profile as that of D25-brane.
An unstable $D3$-brane universe governed by the DBI action of the tachyon field minimally coupled to a U(1) gauge boson is examined. The cosmological evolution of this coupled system, is further analyzed, in terms of the expansion rate of…
We investigate the correspondence between the D2-brane, which is described by the abelian Born-Infeld action, and multiple D0-branes, which are done by the nonabelian Born-Infeld action. We construct effective actions for the fuzzy…
We perform canonical quantization of the open string on a unstable D-brane in the background of the tachyon condensation. Evaluating the Polyakov path-integral on a stripe, we obtain the field theoretical propagator in the open string…
We discuss how to describe time-dependent phenomena in string theory like the decay of unstable D-branes with the help of the world-sheet formulation. It is shown in a nontrivial well-controlled example that the coupling of the tachyons to…
We study D-brane moduli spaces and tachyon condensation in B-type topological minimal models and their massive deformations. We show that any B-type brane is isomorphic with a direct sum of `minimal' branes, and that its moduli space is…
A zero-brane is used to probe non-threshold BPS bound states of (p, p+2,p+4)-branes. At long distances the stringy calculation agrees with the supergravity calculations. The supergravity description is given, using the interpretation of the…
Spacetime non-commutativity appears in string theory. In this paper, the non-commutativity in string theory is reviewed. At first we review that a Dp-brane is equivalent to a configuration of infinitely many D($p-2$)-branes. If we consider…
We study a simple model of p-adic closed and open strings. It sheds some light on the dynamics of tachyon condensation for both types of strings. We calculate the effect of static and decaying D-brane configurations on the closed string…
