Abstract

The effect of world-sheet boundaries on the temperature-dependence of bosonic string theory is studied to first order in string perturbation theory. The high- temperature behaviour of a theory with Dirichlet boundary conditions has features suggestive of the high-temperature limit of the confining phase of large-n SU(n) Yang--Mills theory, recently discussed by Polchinski.
