Open full text 18 citations

Abstract

Open string field theory in the level truncation approximation is considered. It is shown that the energy conservation law determines the existence of rolling tachyon solution. The coupling of the open string field theory action to a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker metric is considered and as a result the new time dependent rolling tachyon solution is presented and possible cosmological consequences are discussed.
