Abstract

We use tachyon field theory effective action to study the dynamics of a non-BPS Dp-brane propagating in the vicinity of k NS5-branes. For the time dependent tachyon condensation we will concentrate on the case of the large tachyon and the case when a non-BPS D-brane is close to NS5-branes. For spatial dependent tachyon condensation we will argue that the problem reduces to the study of the motion of an array of D(p-1)-branes and D(p-1)-antibranes in the vicinity of k NS5-branes.
