Relativistic gravitational theories other than Einstein's, including asymmetric field theories (83D05) Kaluza-Klein and other higher-dimensional theories (83E15) String and superstring theories in gravitational theory (83E30)

Abstract: We study the cosmological solutions of the two-dimensional Brans-Dicke equations considering a gas of $c=1$ strings in $$ as the source of the gravitational field. We also study the implications of the $R$-duality invariance on the solutions. To this purpose we conjecture that, as it happens for massless fields in finite boxes, the free energy of a gas of massless string excitations is not given by the corresponding toroidal compactification.
