A stringy effect on Hawking radiation
In string theories, interactions are exponentially suppressed for trans-Planckian space-like external momenta. We study a class of quantum field theories that exhibit this feature modeled after Witten’s bosonic open string field theory, and discover a ...

On the nonexistence of a vacuum black lens
We demonstrate that five-dimensional, asymptotically flat, stationary and bi-axisymmetric, vacuum black holes with lens space L(n, 1) topology, possessing the simplest rod structure, do not exist.

The multipolar structure of fuzzballs
We extend and refine a general method to extract the multipole moments of arbitrary stationary spacetimes and apply it to the study of a large family of regular horizonless solutions to N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 four-dimensional supergravity coupled to ...

Spontaneous scalarization in (A)dS gravity at zero temperature
We study spontaneous scalarization of electrically charged extremal black holes in D ≥ 4 spacetime dimensions. Such a phenomenon is caused by the symmetry breaking due to quartic interactions of the scalar — Higgs potential and Stueckelberg interaction ...

The study of non-supersymmetric black hole microstates offers the potential to resolve the black hole information paradox. A system of equations was recently obtained that enables the systematic construction of non-supersymmetric smooth horizonless ...

A stringy glimpse into the black hole horizon
We elaborate on the recent claim [1] that non-perturbative effects in α′, which are at the core of the FZZ duality, render the region just behind the horizon of the SL(2, ℝ) k /U(1) black hole singular already at the classical level (g s = 0).

State-space Manifold and Rotating Black Holes [PDF]
We study a class of fluctuating higher dimensional black hole configurations obtained in string theory/ $M$-theory compactifications. We explore the intrinsic Riemannian geometric nature of Gaussian fluctuations arising from the Hessian of the coarse ...

An entropy current for dynamical black holes in four-derivative theories of gravity
We propose an entropy current for dynamical black holes in a theory with arbitrary four derivative corrections to Einstein’s gravity, linearized around a stationary black hole.

Towards a Full Quantum Theory of Black Holes [PDF]
This review gives an introduction to various attempts to understand the quantum nature of black holes. The first part focuses on thermodynamics of black holes, Hawking radiation, and the interpretation of entropy.

Gravitational footprints of black holes and their microstate geometries
We construct a family of non-supersymmetric extremal black holes and their horizonless microstate geometries in four dimensions. The black holes can have finite angular momentum and an arbitrary charge-to-mass ratio, unlike their supersymmetric cousins ...
