For String.Empty, as you said, it represents a string initialized, but length is zero. Initialized means constructed (constructor called)?

string empty1 = "";
string empty2 = string.Empty;
string empty3 = new string('');

All variables initialized to String.Empty are pointing to the same memory address or not?

string

If All the variables initialized to

String.Empty

Then They will point to different memory address

It is not possible that you create two different reference type variables and they have same memory reference, unless you assign one variable to another.

remeber that string is immutable. so every time you change the value it will be allocated and initialize with the new value again

That is correct, but it does not apply to the current situation as you are not creating different objects. You are referencing an existing object.

string str1 = "hello world";
string str2 = "hello world";
if (str1 == str2) Console.WriteLine("same reference");
