Abstract
We analyze the two dimensional type 0 theory with background RR-fluxes. Both the 0A and the 0B theory have two distinct fluxes and . We study these two theories at finite temperature (compactified on a Euclidean circle of radius ) as a function of the fluxes, the tachyon condensate and the radius . Surprisingly, the dependence on , and is rather simple. The partition function is the absolute value square of a holomorphic function of (up to a simple but interesting correction). As expected, the 0A and the 0B answers are related by T-duality. Our answers are derived using the exact matrix models description of these systems and are interpreted in the low energy spacetime Lagrangian.
