pre-print
We give a first principles formulation of the equilibrium statistical mechanics of strings in the canonical ensemble, compatible with the Euclidean timelike T-duality transformations that link the six supersymmetric string theories in pairs. We demonstrate that each exhibits a T^2 growth in the free energy at high temperatures far above the string scale. We verify that the low energy field theory limit of our expression for the string free energy reproduces the expected T^10 growth when the
