Description
We have investigated the finite temperature systems of non-BPS D-branes and D-brane-anti-D-brane pairs in the previous papers. It has been shown that non-BPS D9-branes and D9- D-bar 9-bar pairs become stable near the Hagedorn temperature on the basis of boundary string field theory. This implies that there is a possibility that these spacetime-filling branes exist in the early universe. We study the time evolution of the universe in the presence of non-BPS D9-branes on the basis of boundary string field theory in this paper. We try to construct the following scenario for the early universe: The universe expands at high temperature and the open string gas on the non-BPS D9-branes dominates the total energy of the system at first. The temperature decreases as the universe expands. Then the non-BPS D9-branes become unstable at low temperature and decay through tachyon condensation. We obtain some classical solutions for Einstein gravity and dilaton gravity in the very simple cases
