We revisit noninteracting string partition functions in Rindler space by summing over fields in the spectrum. In field theory, the total partition function splits in a natural way into a piece that does not contain surface terms and a piece consisting of solely the so-called edge states. For open strings, we illustrate that surface contributions to the higher-spin fields correspond to open strings piercing the Rindler origin, unifying the higher-spin surface contributions in string language…

This work reproduces the answer expected from an effective field theory point of view, namely a sum over the one-loop entanglement entropies corresponding to all the particle-excitations of the string, and shows that the full string theory regulates the ultraviolet divergences in theEntanglement entropy.

It is argued that the Unruh effect may be interpreted as a duality of a theory on different backgrounds. This issue is revisited in String Theory in the path integral formalism. By using T-duality
