V Tachyon Condensation in SFT • Bosonic String - Tachyon • Super String has no Tachyon • Tachyon inGSO( - ) sector of NS string Kostelecky,Samuel (1989) • Level truncation
Level GSO Name Picture -1 Picture 0 0 + u - 1/2 - t 1 + r 3/2 - s 2 + I.A.,Belov,Koshelev,Medvedev (2001) Vertex operators in pictures –1 and 0 Berkovits,Sen,Zwiebach (2000)
Tachyon Condensation in SSFT 97.5% For the non-polinomial Berkovic action (Berkovic, Sen, Zwiebach):85%, 90.5% 105%
