The compiled record

The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. Numbers in the tables are the authors', checked by code. No sentence in this record was written by a model.

The abstract, sentence by sentence

arXiv listing abstract v3. Results and the main claim are underlined; .

It has been shown recently that the background independent open string field theory provides an exact description of the tachyon condensation on unstable D-branes of bosonic string theory. In this analysis the overall normalisation of the action was chosen so that it reproduces the conjectured relations involving tachyon condensation. In this paper we fix this normalisation by comparing the on-shell three tachyon amplitude computed from the background independent open string field theory with the same amplitude computed from the cubic open string field theory, which in turn agrees with the result of the first quantised theory. We find that this normalisation factor is in precise agreement with the one required for verifying the conjectured properties of the tachyon potential.

The paper
Original abstract

It has been shown recently that the background independent open string field theory provides an exact description of the tachyon condensation on unstable D-branes of bosonic string theory. In this analysis the overall normalisation of the action was chosen so that it reproduces the conjectured relations involving tachyon condensation. In this paper we fix this normalisation by comparing the on-shell three tachyon amplitude computed from the background independent open string field theory with the same amplitude computed from the cubic open string field theory, which in turn agrees with the result of the first quantised theory. We find that this normalisation factor is in precise agreement with the one required for verifying the conjectured properties of the tachyon potential.
