We develop the boundary string field theory approach to tachyon condensation on the DDbar system. Particular attention is paid to the gauge fields, which combine with the tachyons in a natural way. We derive the RR-couplings of the system and express the result in terms of Quillen's superconnection. The result is related to an index theorem, and is thus shown to be exact.

  1. Quark flavors in hot and dense holographic QCD: setup and comparison to data

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A 2+1 flavor holographic QCD model fitted to lattice thermodynamics predicts a smoother nuclear-to-quark matter transition with lower latent heat than earlier V-QCD models.

  2. The Tachyon Chern-Simons action with a generic tachyon field, and baryons in V-QCD

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 6.5 of 10

    General Tachyon-Chern-Simons forms are built via Quillen superconnections for arbitrary tachyon matrices, and baryon number equals the superconnection instanton number even with massive, flavor-dependent quarks.

  3. Supergravity flows, wormholes and their pseudo-Hermitian holographic duals

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Supergravity truncations admit real-metric wormhole solutions via imaginary scalar extensions whose holographic duals are pseudo-Hermitian and PT-symmetric, interpretable as entangled brane states.
