Abstract

We compute the potential for localized closed string tachyons in bosonic string theory on the orbifold C/Z4 using level-truncated closed string field theory. The critical points of the potential exhibit features which agree with their conjectured identification as lower-order orbifolds. However this case also raises some questions regarding the quantitative predictions associated with these conjectures.
