We derive fully covariant expressions for all two-point scattering amplitudes involving closed string tachyon and massless strings from Dirichlet brane in type 0 theories. The amplitude for two massless D-brane fluctuations to produce closed string tachyon is also evaluated. We then examine in detail these string scattering amplitudes in order to extract world-volume couplings of the tachyon with itself and with massless fields on a D-brane. We find that the tachyon appears as an overall coupling function in the Born-Infeld action.

    The paper argues that bosonic string effective actions contain only even numbers of tachyon fields and extracts D-brane tachyon couplings that match type 0 theory.

    In type 0A on a two-circle wedge, isolated collapsing-branch D_p^- sources incur infinite RR field energy cost as the branch shrinks, with possible infrared screening or discharge to D_p^+ via an effective relative-ch...

  3. String dualities and wedge singularities

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Worldsheet effects from wedge singularities plus D0-brane emergence reproduce the tree-level tachyon mass in type 0A strings within a specific scaling limit.
