Abstract:
Thermodynamic properties of open bosonic strings in the presence or absence of external electromagnetic background fields are obtained in terms of state densities. According to open bosonic string theories in background fields we must distinguish two types of string, neutral and charged strings. Because of different dynamical features of these strings, thermodynamical properties are very different from each other and we discuss stability of these strings. We also obtain properties of open strings in the absence of the background fields.
