Dp-brane tension from tachyons and a B field in vacuum string field theory
/ Authors
/ Abstract
We consider tachyonic string-field fluctuations about a Dp-brane background in the geometrical (CFT) formulation of Vacuum String Field Theory. We then extend this analysis to the case of a background B-field. We find that the standard results for D-brane tension are reproduced in both cases.
