| * ABSTRACT | |||||||
| We consider the thermal properties of IIA string theory on the pp-wave which comes from the circle compactification of the maximally supersymmetric eleven dimensional pp-wave. The one-loop free energy is computed and Hagedorn temperature is found as a function of the RR-flux $\mu$. In the infinity flux limit, the free energy is shown to be identical with that of IIB string theory on maximally supersymmetric pp-wave. We use two complementary approaches, operator and path integral methods. Several points, including the zero point energy and the modular properties of the free energy, are more illuminating and transparent in the path integral method. We find the complete agreement between those two approaches in the free energy expression and the dependency of the Hagedorn temperature on the RR-flux. |
