- Some exact results on tachyon condensation in string field theory (2000, methodology): “On the other hand, the worldsheet analysis of [4] seems to suggest that no strong coupling behavior should be encountered as the tachyon condenses, since diagrams with many holes are not becoming larger in this process.”
