New Geometric Approaches to Finite Temperature String Theory
In quantum field theory a system at finite temperature can equivalently be viewed as having a compactified dimension. This situation carries over into string theory and leads to thermal duality, which relates the physics of closed strings at temperature T to the physics at the inverse temperature 1...
