Unruh Duality and Maximum Acceleration in String Theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2019-11-05 v3

Abstract

It is argued that the Unruh effect may be interpreted as a duality of a theory on different backgrounds. This issue is revisited in String Theory in the path integral formalism. By using T-duality and the Unruh effect, the T-dual transformation for acceleration is investigated and a maximum effective physical acceleration for observers in String Theory is found.
