Closed string tachyon condensation revisited

Abstract We consider condensation of nearly marginal matter tachyons in closed string field theory and observe that upon restricting to a subspace of states not containing the ghost dilaton, the on-shell value of the action is proportional to the shift of the central charge of the matter CFT. This c...
