We study condensation of closed string tachyons living on defects, such as orbifold fixed planes and Neveu-Schwarz fivebranes. We argue that the high energy density of localized states decreases in the process of condensation of such…
We study the condensation of localized closed string tachyons in C^3/Z_N nonsupersymmetric noncompact orbifold singularities via renormalization group flows that preserve supersymmetry in the worldsheet conformal field theory and their…
We study some aspects of localized tachyon condensation on non-supersymmetric orbifolds of the form $\BC^2/\BZ_n$ and $\BC^3/\BZ_n$. We discuss the gauged linear sigma models for these orbifolds. We show how several features of the decay of…
We study the localized tachyon condensation (LTC) of non-supersymmetric orbifold backgrounds in their mirror Landau-Ginzburg picture. Using he existence of four copies of (2,2) worldsheet supersymmetry, we show at the CFT level, that the…
We consider condensation of localized closed string tachyons by examining the recent proposal of Harvey, Kutasov, Martinec, and Moore. We first observe that the $g_{\rm cl}$ defined by HKMM does not reflect the space-time supersymmetry when…
Intersecting D-brane models and their T-dual magnetic compactifications provide an attractive framework for particle physics, allowing for chiral fermions and supersymmetry breaking. Generically, magnetic compactifications have tachyons…
We discuss the localized tachyon condensation in the non-supersymmetric orbifold theories by taking the cosmological constant as the measure of degrees of freedom (d.o.f). We first show asymptotic density of state is not a proper quantity…
Closed string tachyon condensation has been studied in orbifolds C^2/Z_{N,p} of flat space, using the chiral ring of the underlying N=2 conformal field theory. Here we show that similar phenomena occur in the curved smooth background…
In the minimal supersymmetric standard model, the conservation of R-parity is phenomenologically desirable, but is ad hoc in the sense that it is not required for the internal consistency of the theory. However, if B-L is gauged at very…
The chirally symmetric baryon parity-doublet model can be used as an effective description of the baryon-like objects in the chirally symmetric phase of QCD. Recently it has been found that above the critical temperature higher chiralspin…
The hadron-quark/gluon duality formulated in terms of a topology change at a density $n\gsim 2n_0$ $n_0\simeq 0.16$fm$^{-3}$ is found to describe the core of massive compact stars in terms of quasiparticles of fractional baryon charges,…
We study closed string tachyon condensation on general non-supersymmetric orbifolds of C^2. Extending previous analyses on Abelian cases, we present the classification of quotients by discrete finite subgroups of GL(2; C) as well as the…
We discuss condensations of closed string tachyons localized in compact spaces. Time evolution of an on-shell condensation is naturally related to the worldsheet RG flow. Some explicit tachyonic compactifications of Type II string theory is…
Closed string tachyon condensation resolves the singularities of nonsupersymmetric orbifolds, however the resolved space typically has fewer D-brane charges than that of the orbifold. The description of the tachyon condensation process via…
We study systems of multiple localized closed string tachyons and the phenomena associated with their condensation, in C3/ZN nonsupersymmetric noncompact orbifold singularities using gauged linear sigma model constructions, following…
We discuss noncommutative solitons on a noncommutative torus and their application to tachyon condensation. In the large B limit, they can be exactly described by the Powers-Rieffel projection operators known in the mathematical literature.…
We study the localized tachyon condensation in their mirror Landau-Ginzburg picture. We completely determine the decay mode of an unstable orbifold $C^r/Z_n$, $r=1,2,3$ under the condensation of a tachyon with definite R-charge and mass by…
We propose novel superfluids induced by the parity-doubled baryons. The parity-doubled baryons, i.e., a nucleon $N(940)$ with spin-parity $J^{P}=1/2^{+}$ and an excited nucleon $N^{\ast}(1535)$ with $J^{P}=1/2^{-}$ in vacuum, become…
Under the assumption of Abelian dominance in QCD, we have shown that chiral condensate is locally present around each QCD monopole. The essence is that either of charge or chirality of a quark is not conserved, when the low energy massless…
An F-theory dual of a nonsupersymmetric orientifold is considered. It is argued that the condensation of both open and closed string tachyons in the orientifold corresponds to the annihilation of branes and anti-branes in the F-theory dual.…
