Partition Sums and Entropy Bounds in Weakly Coupled CFT

الأصل · EN

We use the partition functions on S¹ x Sⁿ of various conformal field theories in four and six dimensions in the limit of vanishing coupling to study the high temperature thermodynamics. Certain modular properties exhibited by the partition functions help to determine the finite volume corrections, which play a role in the discussion of entropy bounds.
