Tachyonic modes on type 0 NS5-branes
Abstract
Via T-duality, a stack of unwrapped type 0 NS5-branes is transformed into a Kaluza-Klein monopole with An type singularity at its center. The spectrum of twisted modes at the singularity contains tachyonic modes. We show that, in certain parameter region, this tachyonic spectrum is completely reproduced as modes of the bulk tachyon field localized on a classical NS5-brane solution. In passing, we show how twisted modes at the singularity reproduce gauge fields on stacks of NS5-branes.
