Matrix Model Thermodynamics

چکیده
Some recent work on the thermodynamic behavior of the matrix model of M-theory on a pp-wave background is reviewed. We examine a weak coupling limit where computations can be done explicitly. In the large N limit, we find a phase transition between two distinct phases which resembles a “confinement-deconfinement” transition in gauge theory and which we speculate must be related to a geometric transition in M-theory. We review arguments that the phase transition is also related to the Hagedorn transition of little string theory in a certain limit of the 5-brane geometry.

Double Sine-gordon Model for the Classical and Quantum Thermodynamics of Magnetic Chains
The Double Sine-Gordon (DSG) model has been often used for describing anisotropic spin chains. We firstly present classical transfer matrix calculations of thermodynamic quantities. Secondly, the effects of the quantum fluctuations are taken into account by means of an effective potential, which was successfully used for SG models.
متن کاملA Matrix Model for the Two Dimensional Black Hole
We construct and study a matrix model that describes two dimensional string theory in the Euclidean black hole background. A conjecture of V. Fateev, A. and Al. Zamolodchikov, relating the black hole background to condensation of vortices (winding modes around Euclidean time) plays an important role in the construction. We use the matrix model to study quantum corrections to the thermodynamics ...
متن کاملFive-Brane Thermodynamics from the Matrix Model
A certain sector of the matrix model for M-theory on a plane wave background has recently been shown to produce the transverse five-brane. We consider this theory at finite temperature. We find that, at a critical temperature it has a Gross-Witten phase transition which corresponds to deconfinement of the matrix model gauge theory. We interpret the phase transition as the Hagedorn transition of...

Surfaces of synthesis cobalt disulfide has high electron density that could interact with polycyclic aromatic compounds by π-π stacking. Cobalt disulfide was synthesized with the hydrothermal method and characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and energy-dispersive X-ray. Using tetracycline as a model analyte, the batch adsorption experiments were c...
متن کاملKinetics and thermodynamics of electron transfer in Debye solvents: an analytical and nonperturbative reduced density matrix theory.
A nonperturbative electron transfer rate theory is developed on the basis of reduced density matrix dynamics, which can be evaluated readily for the Debye solvent model without further approximation. Not only does it recover for reaction rates the celebrated Marcus' inversion and Kramers' turnover behaviors, but the present theory also predicts reaction thermodynamics, such as equilibrium Gibbs...
متن کاملGround and excited electronic state thermodynamics of aqueous carbon monoxide: a theoretical study.
By using the quasi Gaussian entropy theory in combination with molecular dynamics simulations and the perturbed matrix method, we investigate the ground and excited state thermodynamics of aqueous carbon monoxide. Results show that the model used is rather accurate and provides a great detail in the description of the excitation thermodynamics.
