Effective tachyon dynamics in superstring theory

• A recently proposed l = 1 field theory model of tachyon dynamics for unstable bosonic D-branes has been shown to arise as the two-derivative truncation of (boundary)-string field theory. Using an l --> 1 limit appropriate to stable kinks we obtain a model
