In order to study the thermodynamic properties of brane-antibrane systems, we compute the finite temperature effective potential of tachyon T in this system on the basis of boundary string field theory. At low temperature, the minimum of…
We investigate the thermodynamic properties of D-brane-anti-D-brane pairs and non-BPS D-branes on the basis of boundary string field theory. We calculate the finite temperature effective potential of N D-brane-anti-D-brane pairs in a…
We consider a pair of parallel ${\rm D}_{p-1}$ and anti-${\rm D}_{p-1}$ branes in flat space, with a finite separation $d$ along some perpendicular spatial direction and at finite temperature. If this spatial direction is compactified on a…
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…
It is well known that one-loop free energy of closed strings diverges above the Hagedorn temperature. One explanation for this divergence is that a `winding mode' in the Euclidean time direction becomes tachyonic above the Hagedorn…
The boundary string field theory approach is used to evaluate the one-loop tachyon potential. We first discuss the boundary condition at the two boundaries on annulus diagram and then the exact form of corrected potentials at zero and high…
We discuss the thermal properties of string gases propagating in various D-brane backgrounds in the weak-coupling limit, and at temperatures close to the Hagedorn temperature. We determine, in the canonical ensemble, whether the Hagedorn…
Using the boundary state formalism and thermo field dynamics approach, we study a D$p$-brane at finite temperature in which the background Kalb-Ramond field, a $U(1)$ gauge potential, and tachyon field are turned on together with a general…
We develop the finite temperature theory of p-adic string models. We find that the thermal properties of these non-local field theories can be interpreted either as contributions of standard thermal modes with energies proportional to the…
We study the thermodynamics of open superstrings in the presence of $p$-dimensional D-branes. We get some finite temperature dualities relating the one-loop canonical free energy of open strings to the self-energy of D-branes at dual…
The thermal dynamics of D-branes and of open superstrings in background gauge fields is studied. It is shown that D-brane dynamics forbids constant velocity motion at finite temperature. T-duality is used to interpret this feature as a…
Previously we have investigated the thermodynamical properties of D-brane--anti-D-brane pairs by calculating the one-loop free energy and the finite temperature effective action in the framework of Matsubara formalism. This calculation is…
In this Letter a topological interpretation for the string thermal vacuum in the Thermo Field Dynamics (TFD) approach is given. As a consequence, the relationship between the Imaginary Time and TFD formalisms is achieved when both are used…
We study details of the approach to the Hagedorn temperature in string theory in various static spacetime backgrounds. We show that the partition function for a {\it single} string at finite temperature is the torus amplitude restricted to…
In this paper we give the boundary string field theory description of brane-antibrane systems. From the world-sheet action of brane-antibrane systems we obtain the tachyon potential and discuss the tachyon condensation exactly. We also find…
We study the behavior of a simple string bit model at finite temperature. We use thermal perturbation theory to analyze the high temperature regime. But at low temperatures we rely on the large $N$ limit of the dynamics, for which the exact…
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 study the microcanonical description of string gases in the presence of D-branes. We obtain exact expressions for the single string density of states and draw the regions in phase space where asymptotic approximations are valid. We are…
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…
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.…
