We study decay of unstable D-branes in string theory in the presence of electric field, and show that the classical open string theory results for various properties of the final state agree with the properties of closed string states into which the system is expected to decay. This suggests a duality between tree level open string theory on unstable D-branes and closed strings at high density.

    Tachyon EFT near its minimum is mapped via collective field theory to a coherent-state subsector of Klein-Gordon theory, indicating quantum-level equivalence between open and closed string descriptions of unstable D-b...
