What is Noncommutative Tachyons And String Field Theory about?

It has been shown recently that by turning on a large noncommutativity parameter, the description of tachyon condensation in string theory can be drastically simplified. We reconsider these issues from the standpoint of string field theory, showing that, from this point of view, the key fact is that in the limit of a large B-field, the string field algebra factors as the product of an algebra that acts on the string center of mass only and an algebra that acts on all other degrees of freedom carried by the string.
