The Partition Function of a Multi-Component Coulomb Gas on a Circle
Niko Jokela, Matti Jarvinen, Esko Keski-Vakkuri
We study a two-dimensional Coulomb gas consisting of a mixture of particles carrying various positive multiple integer charges, confined on a unit circle. We consider the system in…
Timelike Boundary Sine-Gordon Theory and Two-Component Plasma
Niko Jokela, Esko Keski-Vakkuri, Jaydeep Majumder
It has long been known that there is a relation between boundary sine-Gordon theory and thermodynamics of charge neutral two-component Coulomb plasma on a unit circle. On the other…
A Thermodynamic Interpretation of Time for Superstring Rolling Tachyons
Jimmy A. Hutasoit, Niko Jokela
Rolling tachyon backgrounds, arising from open strings on unstable branes in bosonic string theory, can be related to a simple statistical mechanical model - Coulomb gas of point c…
Disk Partition Function and Oscillatory Rolling Tachyons
Niko Jokela, Matti Jarvinen, Esko Keski-Vakkuri +1
An exact cubic open string field theory rolling tachyon solution was recently found by Kiermaier et. al. and Schnabl. This oscillatory solution has been argued to be related by a f…
A Thermodynamic Interpretation of Time for Rolling Tachyons
Vijay Balasubramanian, Niko Jokela, Esko Keski-Vakkuri +1
We show that the open string worldsheet description of brane decay (discussing a specific example of a rolling tachyon background) can be related to a sequence of points of thermod…
