String entanglement and D-branes as pure states
We study the entanglement of closed strings degrees of freedom in order to investigate the microscopic structure and statistics of objects as D-branes.

| Resumo: | We study the entanglement of closed strings degrees of freedom in order to investigate the microscopic structure and statistics of objects as D-branes. By considering the macroscopic pure state limit, whenever the entanglement entropy goes to zero (in such a way that the macroscopic properties of the state are preserved), we show that boundary states may be recovered in this limit and, furthermore, the description through closed string (perturbative) degrees of freedom collapses. We also show how the thermal properties of branes and closed strings could be described by this model, and it requires that dissipative effects be taken into account. Extensions of the macroscopic pure state analysis to more general systems at finite temperature are finally emphasized. |
