Ultrahigh Energy Aspects of Thermal String Scattering

Abstract

Ultrahigh energy aspects of perturbative string scattering are surveyed after our precedent compendia on the thermal Virasoro amplitude as well as the thermal Veneziano amplitude in proper reference to the possible violation of unitarity bounds. The configuration of highlyexcited string states is then touched upon from the viewpoint of string cosmology in association with the possible macroscopic nonlocality as well as the newfashioned percolation scenario.
