Aspects of brane world-volume dynamics in string theory

This thesis investigates the non-abelian dynamics of D-Brane systems in String Theory, specifically focussing on the fate of the open string Tachyon. Starting from the action of two coincident non-BPS D9-branes, we investigate kink configurations of the U(2) matrix tachyon field, considering both sy...
