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…
In order to study the thermodynamic properties of brane-antibrane systems in the toroidal background, we compute the finite temperature effective potential of tachyon T in this system on the basis of boundary string field theory. We first…
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…
We have investigated the finite temperature systems of non-BPS D-branes and D-brane-anti-D-brane pairs in the previous papers. It has been shown that non-BPS D9-branes and D9-anti-D9 pairs become stable near the Hagedorn temperature on the…
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…
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 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…
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…
Bosonic boundary states at finite temperature are constructed as solutions of boundary conditions at $T\neq 0$ for bosonic open strings with a constant gauge field $F_{ab}$ coupled to the boundary. The construction is done in the framework…
The thermodynamics of a gas of strings and D-branes near the Hagedorn transition is described by a coupled set of Boltzmann equations for weakly interacting open and closed long strings. The resulting distributions are dominated by the open…
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…
We revisit the idea that the quantum dynamics of open strings ending on $N$ D3-branes in the large $N$ limit can be described at large `t Hooft coupling by classical closed string theory in the background created by the D3-branes in…
We consider D-brane/anti-D-brane systems at T>0. Starting at the closed string vacuum, we argue that a finite temperature leads to the reappearance of open string degrees of freedom. We also show that, at a sufficiently large temperature,…
We construct the D-brane states at finite temperature in thermal equilibrium in the $\mathbb{R}^{1,p}\times{\mathbb{T}}^{d-p-1}$ spacetime in the presence of cold (unthermalized) Kalb-Ramond (KR) and U(1) gauge potential background. To this…
In this paper we thermalize the type II superstrings in the GS formulation by applying the TFD formalism. The thermal boundary conditions on the thermal Hilbert space are obtained from the BPS $D$-brane boundary conditions at zero…
The description of string-theoretic s-branes at g_s=0 as exact worldsheet CFTs with a (lambda cosh X^0) or (lambda e^(X^0)) boundary interaction is considered. Due to the imaginary-time periodicity of the interaction under X^0 -> X^0 + 2 pi…
We find that the gas of IIA strings undergoes a phase transition into a gas of IIB strings at the self-dual temperature. A gas of free heterotic strings undergoes a Kosterlitz-Thouless duality transition with positive free energy and…
We discuss general spinning p-branes of string and M-theory and use their thermodynamics along with the correspondence between near-horizon brane solutions and field theories with 16 supercharges to describe the thermodynamic behavior of…
In this paper we review the construction of the thermal bosonic string and $D$-brane in the framework of the Thermo Field Dynamics (TFD). We briefly recall the well-known light-cone quantization of the bosonic string in the conformal gauge…
