Query: Open-closed string correspondence: D-brane decay in curved space   This paper analyzes the effect of curved closed string backgrounds on the
stability of D-branes within boundary string field theory. We identify the
non-local open string background that implements shifts in the closed string
background and analyze the tachyonic sector off-shell. The renormalization
group flow reveals some characteristic properties, which are expected for a
curved background, like the absence of a stable space-filling brane. In
3-dimensions we describe tachyon condensation processes to lower-dimensional
branes, including a curved 2-dimensional brane. We argue that this 2-brane is
perturbatively stable. This is in agreement with the known maximally symmetric
WZW-branes and provides further support to the bulk-boundary factorization
approach to open-closed string correspondence.
