dc.descriptionWe study closed string tachyon condensation using the RG flow of the worldsheet theory. In many cases the worldsheet theory enjoys N=2 supersymmetry, which provides analytic control over the flow, due to non-renormalization theorems. Moreover, Mirror symmetry sheds light on the RG flow in such cases. We discuss the relevant tachyon condensation in the context of both compact and non-compact situations which lead to very different conclusions. Furthermore, the tachyon condensation leads to non-trivial dualities for non-supersymmetric probe theories.
