We study the thermal ensemble of a gas of free strings in presence of a magnetic field. We find that the thermodynamical partition function diverges when the magnetic field exceeds some critical value $B_{\rm cr}$, which depends on the…
We find that the high temperature limit of the free energy per unit length for the rigid string agrees dimensionally with that of the QCD string (unlike the Nambu-Goto string). The sign, and in fact the phase, do not agree. While this may…
We investigate the temperature region in which a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL) description of the charge sector of the one-dimensional Hubbard model is valid. By using the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz method, electron number is calculated…
Numerical methods are used to examine the thermodynamic characteristics of the two-dimensional Ising model as a function of the number of spins N. Onsager's solution is generalized to a finite-size lattice, and experimentally validated…

The Hagedorn transition in string theory is normally associated with an exponentially rising density of states, or equivalently with the existence of a thermal string winding mode which becomes tachyonic above a specific temperature.…
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…
In this work the LvN quantization of the type IIB superstring is carried on in a time dependent plane wave background with a constant self-dual Ramond-Ramond 5-form and a linear dilaton in the light-like direction. Such an endeavour allows…
In the first part of this contribution we present a numerical study motivated by recent attempts to understand the nonperturbative aspects of QCD at temperatures T~ a few times the deconfinement temperature Tc. We focus on the pure gauge…
We discuss the matching of the BPS part of the spectrum for (super)membrane, which gives the possibility of getting membrane's results via string calculations. In the small coupling limit of M--theory the entropy of the system coincides…
We discuss the asymptotic properties of quantum states density for fundamental $p-$branes which can yield a microscopic interpretation of the thermodynamic quantities in M-theory. The matching of BPS part of spectrum for superstring and…
We develop a diagrammatic approach for calculating the high temperature expansion of dynamic correlation functions, such as the electron Green's function and the time-dependent density-density and spin-spin correlation functions, for the…
The thermodyanmics of a metastable hadronic phase of QCD at large $N_C$ are related to properties of an effective QCD string. In particular, it is shown that in the large $N_c$ limit and near the maximum hadronic temperature, $T_H$, the…
