Thermal equilibrium in string theory in the Hagedorn phase
Abstract In string theory, a thermal state is described by compactifying Euclidean time on a thermal circle S β 1 $$ {S}_{\beta}^1 $$ , of fixed circumference. However, this circumference is a dynamical field which could vary in space, therefore thermal equilibrium is not guaranteed. We discuss a th...
