String Free Energy, Hagedorn and Gauge/String Duality
arXiv:0807.1017 · doi:10.1088/1126-6708/2009/03/098
Abstract
We give examples of modeling the string free energy whose behavior mimics that of QCD: a power-law at high temperature and an exponential decrease at low temperature. Although the effective description is in terms of strings, no limiting temperature exists, as expected for a crossover.
