Comments on Half S-Branes

Following hep-th/0305177, we write the boundary state of half S-brane in bosonic string theory as a grand canonical partition function of a unitary matrix model. From this representation, it follows that the annulus amplitude can be written as a grand canonical partition function of a unitary two-matrix model. We also show that the contribution of the exponentially growing couplings to the time...
