D-Branes, Tachyons, and String Field Theory
by Washington Taylor, Barton Zwiebach - arXiv
Introduction to tachyon condensation in Witten's cubic bosonic open string field theory. We use both the low-energy Yang-Mills description and the language of string field theory to explain the problem of tachyon condensation on unstable D-branes.
