TL;DR
This paper explores the relationship between tachyonic solutions on bosonic D-branes and the formation of lower-dimensional D-branes, proposing a unified interpretation of these phenomena.
Contribution
It demonstrates that tachyonic kink solutions on D-brane pairs correspond to lower-dimensional D-branes and suggests a unified framework for these descriptions.
Findings
Tachyonic kink solutions on D-brane pairs are identified with D-(p-1)-branes.
Potential for D-(p-1)-branes as tachyonic lumps on single D-p-branes.
A reinterpretation unifies different descriptions of D-(p-1)-branes.
Abstract
We show that the tachyonic kink solution on a pair of D-p-branes in the bosonic string theory can be identified with the D-(p-1)-brane of the same theory. We also speculate on the possibility of obtaining the D-(p-1)-brane as a tachyonic lump on a single D-p-brane. We suggest a possible reinterpretation of the first result which unifies these two apparently different descriptions of the D-(p-1) brane.
