We begin by reviewing the results on the decay of unstable D-branes in type II string theory, and the open–closed string duality proposal that arises from these studies. We then apply this proposal to the study of tachyon driven cosmology, namely cosmological solutions describing the decay of unstable space filling D-branes. This naturally gives rise to a time reversal invariant bounce solution with positive spatial curvature. In the absence of a bulk cosmological constant the universe always…
Cosmology of the tachyon in brane inflation
• Physics
• 2006
In certain implementations of the brane inflationary paradigm, the exit from inflation occurs when the branes annihilate through tachyon condensation. We investigate various cosmological effects
Mirage resolution of cosmological singularities
We study time-dependent backgrounds in the low energy regimes of string theories. In particular the emphasis is on the general study of exotic phenomena such as positive acceleration and
Tachyonic inflation in a warped string background
We analyze observational constraints on the parameter space of tachyonic inflation with a gaussian potential and discuss some predictions of this scenario. As was shown by Kofman and Linde, it is
Dynamical system analysis of Randall-Sundrum model with tachyon field on the brane
• Physics, Mathematics
• 2020
In this article, we use the dynamical system approach to study the linear dynamics of a Randall-Sundrum braneworld model with a tachyon scalar field confined to the brane. We recognize that the form
Supersymmetric closed string tachyon cosmology: a first approach
• Physics
• 2014
We give a worldline supersymmetric formulation for the effective action of closed string tachyon in a FRW background. This is done considering that, as shown by Vafa, the effective theory of closed
On the origin of thermal string gas
• Physics
• 2007
We investigate decaying D-branes as the origin of the thermal string gas of string gas cosmology. We consider initial configurations of low dimensional branes and argue that they can time evolve to
Tachyon cosmology, supernovae data and the Big Brake singularity
• Physics
• 2009
We compare the existing observational data on type Ia supernovae with the evolutions of the Universe predicted by a one-parameter family of tachyon models which we have introduced recently [Phys.
WMAP BOUNDS ON BRANEWORLD TACHYONIC INFLATION
• Computer Science
• 2004
The analysis shows that the running of the scalar spectral index is within the bounds determined by WMAP for the allowed range of model parameters; however, it is not possible to obtain ns>1 on large scales and ns<1 on small scales.
An Alternative to Exact Renormalization and Cosmological Solutions in String Theory
• Physics
• 2005
In this work we review the application of a functional method, serving as an alternative to the Wilsonian Exact Renormalization approach, to stringy bosonic $\sigma$-models with metric and dilaton

Abstract We study time-dependent solutions of Einstein–Maxwell gravity in four dimensions coupled to tachyon matter—the Dirac–Born–Infeld Lagrangian that provides an effective description of a
Time and Tachyon
Recent analysis suggests that the classical dynamics of a tachyon on an unstable D-brane is described by a scalar Born–Infeld type action with a runaway potential. The classical configurations in
Comments on supergravity description of S-branes
• Mathematics

This is a note on the coupled supergravity-tachyon matter system, which has been earlier proposed as a candidate for the effective space-time description of S-branes. In particular, we study an
Rolling tachyon in brane world cosmology from superstring field theory
• Physics
• 2003
The pressureless tachyonic matter recently found in superstring field theory has an over-abundance problem in cosmology. We argue that this problem is naturally solved in the brane inflationary
