Universal entropy of large spheres of spontaneous strings

Journal Article · · Mod. Phys. Letters B; (United States)
The authors show that large spherical surfaces in Euclidean space time made of spontaneous strings (strings with extrinsic curvature plus a spontaneously generated tension) have a universal entropy P(R/sup 2/) infinity (R/sup 2/)/sup d/6/e/sup -const./R/sup 2/ in the limit of large dimensionality d. The power of R is universal in the sense that it is independent of the model parameter v (normality) which characterizes the amount of the Nambu-Goto tension with respect to the spontaneously generated tension (v = infinity is the pure Nambu-Goto String).
