We use the matrix model to study the final state resulting from a coherent high energy pulse in 2-d string theory at large string coupling. We show that the outgoing signal produced via reflection off the potential has a thermal spectrum,…
We study the microcanonical density of states and the thermal properties of a bosonic string gas starting from a calculation of the Helmholtz free energy in the S-representation. By adding more and more strings to the single string system,…
We analyze experimental particle spectra and show that the Hagedorn temperature is significantly larger for mesons than for baryons. The effect can be explained within dual string models: excitations of three strings in the baryon produce…
We show that the high temperature limits of the heterotic E8xE8 and Spin(32)/Z2 strings and their Type I A/B superstring duals are finite and convergent. The Hagedorn growth of the degeneracies in the string mass level expansion is…
We consider aspects of the role of stringy scales and Hagedorn temperatures in the correspondence between various field theories and AdS-type spaces. The boundary theory is set on a toroidal world-volume to enable small scales to appear in…
We extend the analysis of the recently obtained stringy cosmological solutions induced by thermal and quantum effects, once space-time supersymmetry is spontaneously broken by geometrical fluxes. Cases in which more than one modulus…
We compute the high energy entropy and the equation of state of a gas of open superstrings in the infinite volume limit focusing on the calculation of the number of strings as a function of energy and volume. We do it in the fixed…
We consider a configuration of strings and solitons in the type IIB superstring theory on $M^5\times T^5$, which is composed of a set of arbitrarily-wound D-fivebranes on $T^5$ and a set of arbitrarily-wound D-strings on $S^1$ of the torus.…
We are presenting the basic ingredients of a stringy mechanism able to resolve both the Hagedorn instabilities of finite temperature superstrings as well as the initial singularity of the induced cosmology in arbitrary dimensions. These are…
Orbifold techniques are used to study bosonic, type II and heterotic strings in Rindler space at integer multiples N of the Rindler temperature, and near a black hole horizon at integer multiples of the Hawking temperature, extending…
We study the Hagedorn temperature $T_H$ of strongly coupled quantum field theories admitting a holographic string or M-theory description in various regimes and scenarios. In the first part of the paper we propose a ``thermal scalar''…
We show that the Hagedorn temperature obtained from experimental spectra is larger for mesons than for baryons. Dual string models explain this behavior asymptotically.
Building on the recently established connection between the Hagedorn temperature and integrability [Phys.Rev.Lett. 120 (2018) no.7, 071605], we show how the Quantum Spectral Curve formalism can be used to calculate the Hagedorn temperature…
We calculate the thermal partition functions of open strings on the S-brane backgrounds (the bouncing or rolling tachyon backgrounds) both in the bosonic and superstring cases. According to hep-th/0302146, we consider the discretized…
We review the cosmology induced by finite temperature and quantum effects on non-supersymmetric string models. We show the evolution is attracted to radiation-like solutions after the Hagedorn era and before the electroweak phase…
In this work we use the Matrix Model of Strings in order to extract some non-perturbative information on how the Hagedorn critical temperature arises from eleven-dimensional physics. We study the thermal behavior of M and Matrix theories on…
In string theories, interactions are exponentially suppressed for trans-Planckian space-like external momenta. We study a class of quantum field theories that exhibit this feature modeled after Witten's bosonic open string field theory, and…
We discuss some aspects of the behaviour of a string gas at the Hagedorn temperature from a Euclidean point of view. Using AdS space as an infrared regulator, the Hagedorn tachyon can be effectively quasi-localized and its dynamics…
We calculate emission rates of various bosonic/fermionic soft massless states of open/closed superstring from an ensemble of a highly excited open/closed superstring in the flat background. The resulting spectrum shows thermal distributions…
In this paper, we discuss the important question of how to extrapolate a given zero-temperature string model to finite temperature. It turns out that this issue is surprisingly subtle, and we show that many of the standard results require…
