Flow of Geometries and Instantons on the Null Orbifold

arXiv:hep-th/0507067 · doi:10.1088/1126-6708/2005/12/018

Abstract

We study condensation of twisted sector states in the null orbifold geometry. As the singularity is time-dependent, we probe it using D-Instantons. We present evidence that the null-orbifold flows to the $Z_N$ orbifold. We also comment on the subtleties of quantizing the closed superstring in this background.
