Strings and D-Branes at High Temperature
arXiv:hep-th/9707167 · doi:10.1016/S0370-2693(97)01105-2
Abstract
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 string sector, indicating that D-branes grow to fill space at high temperature.
