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 investigate on the lattice the metastable confined phase above Tc in SU(N) gauge theories, for N=8,10, and 12. In particular we focus on the decrease with the temperature of the mass of the lightest state that couples to Polyakov loops.…
We discuss interacting, closed, bosonic and superstrings in thermal equilibrium at temperatures close to the Hagedorn temperature in flat space. We calculate S-matrix elements of the strings at the Hagedorn temperature and use them to…

A microcanonical treatment of Hagedorn systems, i.e. finite mass hadronic resonances with an exponential mass spectrum controlled by the Hagedorn temperature $T_H$, is performed. We show that, in the absence of any restrictions, a Hagedorn…
We show that the Hagedorn temperature obtained from experimental spectra is larger for mesons than for baryons. Dual string models explain this behavior asymptotically.
A mini-review devoted to some implications of the Hagedorn temperature for black hole physics. The existence of a limiting temperature is a generic feature of string models. The Hagedorn temperature was introduced first in the context of…

A system H with a Hagedorn-like mass spectrum imparts its unique temperature T_H to any other system coupled to it. An H system radiates particles in preexisting physical and chemical equilibrium. These particles form a saturated vapor at…
The Hagedorn regime of string theory is usually understood as an equilibrium limiting phenomenon: the exponential growth of the density of states makes the canonical partition function singular at the Hagedorn temperature, while in the…
We examine the Hagedorn behavior of little string theory using its conjectured duality with near-horizon NS5-branes. In particular, by studying the string-corrected NS5-brane supergravity solution, it is shown that tree-level corrections to…
