Entropy , String Theory , and our World †
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate the consequences of two assumptions for String ( or M) Theory, namely that: 1) all coordinates are compact and bound by the horizon of observation, 2) the “dynamics” of compactification is determined by the “second law of thermodynamics”, i.e. the principle of entropy. We discuss how this leads to a phenomenologically consistent scenario for our world, both at the elementary particle’s and at the cosmological level, without any fine tuning or further “ad hoc” constraint.

DEVELOPMENT IN STRING THEORY
The string theory is a fast moving subject, both physics wise and in the respect of mathematics. In order to keep up with the discipline it is important to move with new ideas which are being stressed. Here I wish to give extracts from new papers of ideas which I have recently found interesting. There are six papers which are involved: I ."Strings formulated directly in 4 dimensions " A. N...

consequences of this line of argument. One of the most striking is the following. In QCD, when the temperature reaches sufficiently high values (above 10 K), a phase transition occurs and quarks and gluons are no longer confined — instead, a ‘soup’ of free particles is formed, called quark–gluon plasma. In the five-dimensional theory, this transition also corresponds to the formation of a black...
متن کاملNon-extremal Stringy Black Hole
We construct a four-dimensional BPS saturated heterotic string solution from the Taub-NUT solution. It is a non-extremal black hole solution since its Euler number is non-zero. We evaluate its black hole entropy semiclassically. We discuss the relation between the black hole entropy and the degeneracy of string states. The entropy of our string solution can be understood as the microscopic entr...
متن کاملBiEntropy - The Approximate Entropy of a Finite Binary String
We design, implement and test a simple algorithm which computes the approximate entropy of a finite binary string of arbitrary length. The algorithm uses a weighted average of the Shannon Entropies of the string and all but the last binary derivative of the string. We successfully test the algorithm in the fields of Prime Number Theory (where we prove explicitly that the sequence of prime numbe...
متن کاملEntropy of String States at fixed Mass and Size
We provide formulas for the entropy of free-string states depending on their mass, charges and size, both in bosonic and superstring theory (IIA or IIB). We properly define these quantities in full-fledged string theory. We then investigate the corrections to the entropy due to self-interactions of the string for states with fixed mass, charge and size, both for BPS and non-BPS configurations. ...
