Time Lumps in Nonlocal Stringy Models and Cosmological Applications
We study lump solutions in nonlocal toy models and their cosmological
applications. These models are motivated by a description of D-brane decay
within string field theory framework. In order to find cosmological solutions
we use the simplest local approximation keeping only second derivative terms in
nonlocal dynamics. We study a validity of this approximation in flat background
where time lump solutions can be written explicitly. We work out the validity
of this approximation. We show that our models at large time exhibit the
phantom behaviour similar to the case of the string kink.Comment: Latex, 24 pages, 13 figures, Typos corrected, references adde
