Finite Temperature Bosonic Closed Strings: Thermal Duality and the Kosterlitz Thouless Transition
S. Chaudhuri
We elucidate the properties of a gas of free closed bosonic strings in thermal equilibrium. Our starting point is the intensive generating functional of connected one-loop closed v…
Deconfinement and the Hagedorn Transition in String Theory
Shyamoli Chaudhuri
Superseded and extended in hep-th/0105110 and hep-th/0208112.
Pair Correlation Function of Wilson Loops
S. Chaudhuri, Y. Chen, E. Novak
We give a path integral prescription for the pair correlation function of Wilson loops lying in the worldvolume of Dbranes in the bosonic open and closed string theory. The results…
On the Hagedorn Transition and Collective Dynamics of D0-branes
S. Chaudhuri, D. Minic
Banks, Fischler, Klebanov and Susskind have proposed a model for black hole thermodynamics based on the principle that the entropy is of order the number of particles at the phase…
Monstrous String-String Duality
S. Chaudhuri, D. A. Lowe
We analyze the general class of supersymmetry preserving orbifolds of strong/weak Type IIA/heterotic dual pairs in six dimensions and below. A unified treatment is given by conside…
Moduli Space of CHL Strings
S. Chaudhuri, J. Polchinski
We discuss an orbifold of the toroidally compactified heterotic string which gives a global reduction of the dimension of the moduli space while preserving the supersymmetry. This…
