D-branes in overcritical electric fields
Harald Dorn, Mario Salizzoni, Alessandro Torrielli
TL;DR
This paper explores the decay of D-branes under overcritical electric fields, using a toy model to estimate tachyonic condensates and argue for the well-posedness of such initial conditions.
Contribution
It provides a novel perspective on D-brane decay in overcritical electric fields and offers estimates for tachyonic condensates within a simplified theoretical framework.
Findings
Overcritical electric fields can serve as valid initial conditions for D-brane decay.
Estimates for tachyonic condensates in the toy model are provided.
The approach supports the well-posedness of the decay process under these conditions.
Abstract
We collect some arguments for treating a D-brane with overcritical electric field as a well-posed initial condition for a D-brane decay. Within the field theoretical toy model of Minahan and Zwiebach we give an estimate for the condensates of the related infinite tower of tachyonic excitations.
