Perturbative String Thermodynamics near Black Hole Horizons
Thomas G. Mertens, Henri Verschelde, Valentin I. Zakharov
We provide further computations and ideas to the problem of near-Hagedorn string thermodynamics near (uncharged) black hole horizons, building upon our earlier work JHEP 1403 (2014…
The melting of charmonium in a magnetic field from an effective AdS/QCD model
David Dudal, Thomas G. Mertens
We study the influence of a background magnetic field on the melting of the J/psi vector meson by introducing a Born-Infeld modification of the soft-wall model. Out of the three po…
On the Relevance of the Thermal Scalar
Thomas G. Mertens, Henri Verschelde, Valentin I. Zakharov
We discuss near-Hagedorn string thermodynamics in general spacetimes using the formalism of the thermal scalar. Building upon earlier work by Horowitz and Polchinski, we relate sev…
Near-Hagedorn Thermodynamics and Random Walks - Extensions and Examples
Thomas G. Mertens, Henri Verschelde, Valentin I. Zakharov
In this paper, we discuss several explicit examples of the results obtained in JHEP 1402 (2014) 127. We elaborate on the random walk picture in these spacetimes and how it is modif…
