According to recent research published in the Journal of Statistical
Mechanics – Theory and Experiment, "We solve a random energy model
with complex replica number and complex temperature values, and
discuss the ensuing phase structure."

"A connection with string models and their phase structure is
analyzed from the REM point of view. The REM analysis yields a few
integer dimensions as special points of the REM phase diagram,"
wrote D.B. Saakian and colleagues.

The researchers concluded: "For N = 1 superstrings, there is a
distinguished dimension 5."

Saakian and colleagues published their study in the Journal of
Statistical Mechanics – Theory and Experiment (Phase structure of
string theory and the Random Energy Model. Journal of Statistical
Mechanics – Theory and Experiment, 2009;():7003).
