First order semiclassical thermal string in the AdS spacetime

Abstract

We formulate the finite temperature theory for the free thermal excitations of the bosonic string in the anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime in the Thermo Field Dynamics (TFD) approach. The spacetime metric is treated exactly while the string and the thermal reservoir are semiclassically quantized at the first order perturbation theory with respect to the dimensionless parameter ǫ = α ′ H −2 . In the conformal D = 2 + 1 black-hole AdS background the quantization is exact. The method can be extended to the arbitrary AdS spacetime only in the first order perturbation. This approximation is taken in the center of mass reference frame and it is justified by the fact that at the first order the string dynamics is determined only by the interaction between the free string oscillation modes and the exact background. The first order thermal string is obtained by thermalization of the T = 0 system carried on by the TFD Bogoliubov operator. We determine the free thermal string states and compute the local entropy and free energy in the center of mass reference frame. *

“…Also, it could be used to study the thermal string in curved backgrounds, too, at least in some approximation in which there is a canonical quantization of the theory. We hope to report on this topic soon [20].…”

Semiclassical bosonic D-brane boundary states in curved spacetime

“…We have used the semiclassical quantization method to derive the perturbative Dbrane boundary conditions in curved spacetime and in the presence of a constant KR-field. The strong gravitational field corresponds to the first order perturbation theory for which the boundary equations in arbitrary background metric have been derived in the equations ( 9) and (10). In the AdS background, the first order boundary conditions have been written in the Fock space of the free transversal string modes in (22)-(24).…”
