Abstract
The renormalization group flow in the nonlinear sigma model approach is explicitly solved to the fourth order in the case of an open string propagating in the tachyon background. Using a regularization different from the original one used by Klebanov and Susskind (K-S), we show that its fixed point solution produces the tree-level 5-point tachyon amplitude. Furthermore we prove K-S’s conjecture, i.e., the equivalence between the vanishing β-function defined by our regularization and the equation of motion arising from the effective action, up to all orders.
