Deconstructing the Little Hagedorn Holography

Understand

We study aspects of the thermodynamics of Little String Theory, using its geometrical definition in critical ten-dimensional string theory.

• We find that bulk radiation effects tend to screen the Hagedorn behaviour of the theory, in contrast to the behaviour in the AdS system background.
• The resulting density of states of the system, when stable, is described by a seven-dimensional nonrelativistic gas.
• This requires modifications of the holographic Little Hagedorn picture.
