摘要
An effective field theory built on the tachyonic vacuum of the p-adic bosonic string was shown by Brekke et al. to possess soliton solutions of positive energy in a shifted lower-energy vacuum. It is shown here that such solitons should be interpreted not as real-mass particles but as vacuum decay to yet a third vacuum of unboundedly low energy. © 1990.
