چکیده
We argue that the holographic dual to little string theories at finite temperature suffers from a Gregory-Laflamme like instability, providing an alternative explanation to the results of hep-th/0012258.

Hagedorn Behaviour of Little String Theory from String Corrections to NS5-Branes
Following the conjectured duality between near-horizon NS5-branes and little string theory, the string-corrected thermodynamics of near-horizon NS5-branes is studied and found to agree with the statistical thermodynamics of a 5+1 dimensional supersymmetric string theory near the Hagedorn temperature. Specifically, tree-level corrections to the temperature are argued to vanish, in accordance wit...
متن کاملSupergravity and Space-Time Non-Commutative Open String Theory
We study the non-critical space-time non-commutative open string (NCOS) theory using a dual supergravity description in terms of a certain near-horizon limit of the F1-Dp bound state. We find the thermodynamics of NCOS theory from supergravity. The thermodynamics is equivalent to Yang-Mills theory on a commutative space-time. We argue that this fact does not have to be in contradiction with the...
متن کاملA note on the thermodynamics of ‘ little string ’ theory
We study the thermodynamics of the D1-D5 system on a five-torus, focussing on the roles of different scales. One can take a decoupling limit such that the tension of the ‘little string’ inside the fivebrane remains finite and the physics is 5+1 dimensional. The dual black geometry exhibits a boosted Hagedorn phase, as well as a phase describing a boosted fivebrane gas. The dependence on the boo...
متن کاملNear Hagedorn Dynamics of NS Fivebranes or A New Universality Class of Coiled Strings
We analyze the thermodynamics of NS 5-branes as the temperature approaches the NS 5-branes’ Hagedorn temperature, and conclude that the dynamics of “Little String Theory” is a new universality class of interacting strings. First we point out how to vary the temperature of the near extremal solution by taking into account gs corrections. The Hagedorn temperature is shown to be a limiting tempera...
متن کاملOn the thermodynamic instability of LST
The high energy thermodynamics of Little String Theory (LST) is known to be unstable. An unresolved question is whether the corresponding instability in LST holographic dual is of stringy or supergravity origin. We study UV thermodynamics of a large metric deformation of the LST dual realized (in the extremal case) by type IIB fivebranes wrapping a two-sphere of a resolved conifold, and demonst...
