Perspectives of TFD on String Theory
  Considering the type IIB superstring in a pp wave background some recent ideas and perspectives of Thermo Field Dynamics on string theory are presented. The thermal Fock space is constructed attempting to consider a possible finite temperature version of the BMN correspondence in this framework. Also, the thermal vacuum is identified as a string boundary state realizing the thermal torus interpretation in the ambit of Thermo Field Dynamics. Such a interpretation consists of a generalization of some recent analysis for the closed bosonic string.
