We discuss two types of quantum mechanical models that couple large numbers of Majorana fermions and have orthogonal symmetry groups. In models of vector type, only one of the symmetry groups has a large rank. The large $N$ limit is taken…
We discuss the partitioning of the Hilbert space of a quantum system induced by the interaction with another system at thermal equilibrium, showing that the higher the temperature the more effective is the formation of Zeno subspaces. We…
Using the quantum Hamiltonian for a gravitational system with boundary, we find the partition function and derive the resulting thermodynamics. The Hamiltonian is the boundary term required by functional differentiability of the action for…
This is a note intended to complement our paper (nucl-th/0504010) and addressed to the attention of QGP workers interested in bag models, Hagedorn spectra, and the like. It tries to show that with a Hagedorn-like experimental spectrum the…
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…
Quick chemical equilibration times of hadrons within a hadron gas are explained dynamically using Hagedorn states, which drive particles into equilibrium close to the critical temperature. Within this scheme master equations are employed…
We calculate the thermal partition function in the canonical ensemble for type IIB superstrings in the plane wave background with constant null R-R 5-form. The Hagedorn temperature is found to be higher than the corresponding value for…
We consider the possibility of regarding the maximum temperature $\tm$ of a plasma of inflaton decay products as a Hagedorn temperature connected with the transition from an inflaton-dominated epoch to a radiation-dominated universe.…
We construct a large family of quantum mechanical systems that give rise to an emergent type III$_1$ von Neumann algebra in the large $N$ limit. Their partition functions are matrix integrals that appear in the study of various gauge…
The evolution of a hadronic system after its chemical decomposition is described through a model that conserves the hadronic multiplicities to their values at chemical freeze-out. In the partition function describing the model all known…
We show that the particles in the Calogero-Sutherland Model obey fractional exclusion statistics as defined by Haldane. We construct anyon number densities and derive the energy distribution function. We show that the partition function…
In the limit of a large number of colors (N), both Yang-Mills and quantum chromodynamics are expected to have a first-order phase transition separating a confined hadronic phase and a deconfined plasma phase. One aspect of this separation…
The self-consistency of a thermodynamical theory for hadronic sys- tems based on the non-extensive statistics is investigated. We show that it is possible to obtain a self-consistent theory according to the asymptotic bootstrap principle if…
The hadronization of an expanding partonic fireball is studied within the Parton-Hadron-Strings Dynamics (PHSD) approach which is based on a dynamical quasiparticle model (DQPM) matched to reproduce lattice QCD results in thermodynamic…
The application of Riemannian geometry to the analysis of the equilibrium thermodynamics in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) at finite temperature and baryon density gives a new method to evaluate the critical temperature, $T_c$, of the…
The high temperature behaviour of the open bosonic string free energy in the space $S^1 \otimes H^N$ with vanishingly small curvature is investigated. The leading term of the high temperature expansion of the one-loop free energy, near the…
The experimental hadronic density of states dN/dm, assumed to be a sum of normalized Breit- Wigner distributions and plotted as a function of the hadron mass m, fails to show a Hagedorn like growth beyond 2 GeV, probably due to a lack of…
The equation of state $p(\epsilon)$ and speed of sound squared $c_s^2$ are studied in grand canonical ensemble of all hadron resonances having masses $\leq 2\,$GeV. This large ensemble is divided into strange and non-strange hadron…
In this work, we have studied the isothermal compressibility ($\kappa_T$) as a function of temperature, baryon chemical potential and centre-of-mass energy ($\sqrt{s_{NN}}$) using hadron resonance gas (HRG) and excluded-volume hadron…
We show how the measured particle ratios at RHIC can be used to provide non-trivial information about the critical temperature of the QCD phase transition. This is obtained by including the effects of highly massive Hagedorn resonances on…
