An exact cubic open string field theory rolling tachyon solution was recently
found by Kiermaier et. al. and Schnabl. This oscillatory solution has been
argued to be related by a field redefinition to the simple exponential rolling
tachyon deformation of boundary conformal theory. In the latter approach, the
disk partition function takes a simple form. Out of curiosity, we compute the
disk partition function for an oscillatory tachyon profile, and find that the
result is nevertheless almost the same.Comment: 17 pages, 2 figures. v4: discussion clarified, appendix added,
