Further Information
These notes are an expanded version of a review paper on closed string tachyon condensation at the RTN workshop in Copenhagen in September 2003. We begin with a lightning review of open string tachyon condensation, and then proceed to review recent results on localized closed string tachyon condensation, focusing on two simple systems, C/Zn orbifolds and twisted circle compactifications.
