Hagedorn Behaviour of Little String Theory from String Corrections to NS5-Branes
نویسنده
چکیده
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 with the duality, while the one-loop string correction to the NS5-brane thermodynamics is shown to generate the correct temperature dependence of the entropy. Work supported in part by TMR network ERBFMRXCT96-0045.

Hagedorn Behavior of Little String Theories
We examine the Hagedorn behavior of little string theory using its conjectured duality with near-horizon NS5-branes. In particular, by studying the stringcorrected NS5-brane supergravity solution, it is shown that tree-level corrections to the temperature vanish, while the leading one-loop string correction generates the correct temperature dependence of the entropy near the Hagedorn temperatur...
متن کاملHot Little String Correlators: A View From Supergravity
We study the propagation of a massless minimally coupled scalar in the near horizon geometry of non-extremal NS5-branes. Using the holographic principle for dilatonic backgrounds we compute the two-point function of an operator in Little String Theory at the Hagedorn temperature. We then comment on relations with correlation functions in two dimensional string theory.
متن کاملD-branes in Little String Theory
We analyze in detail the D-branes in the near-horizon limit of NS5-branes on a circle, the holographic dual of little string theory in a double scaling limit. We emphasize their geometry in the background of the NS5-branes and show the relation with D-branes in coset models. The exact one-point function giving the coupling of the closed string states with the D-branes and the spectrum of open s...
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 کاملThe Silence of the Little Strings
We study the hydrodynamics of the high-energy phase of Little String Theory. The poles of the retarded two-point function of the stress energy tensor contain information about the speed of sound and the kinetic coefficients, such as shear and bulk viscosity. We compute this two-point function in the dual string theory and analytically continue it to Lorentzian signature. We perform an independe...
