Abstract

Bosonic boundary states at finite temperature are constructed as solutions of boundary conditions at T0T\neq 0 for bosonic open strings with a constant gauge field FabF_{ab} coupled to the boundary. The construction is done in the framework of thermo field dynamics where a thermal Bogoliubov transformation maps states and operators to finite temperature. Boundary states are given in terms of states from the direct product space between the Fock space of the closed string and another identical copy of it. By analogy with zero temperature, the boundary states heve the interpretation of DpDp-brane at finite temperature. The boundary conditions admit two different solutions. The entropy of the closed string in a DpDp-brane state is computed and analysed. It is interpreted as the entropy of the DpDp-brane at finite temperature.
