Emergence and correspondence for string theory black holes [PDF]
Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part B: Studies in History and Philosophy of Modern Physics, 2020 This is one of a pair of papers that give a historical-\emph{cum}-philosophical analysis of the endeavour to understand black hole entropy as a statistical mechanical entropy obtained by counting string-theoretic microstates. Both papers focus on Andrew Strominger and Cumrun Vafa's ground-breaking 1996 calculation, which analysed the black hole in ...

Microstates of a 2d Black Hole in string theory
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 Abstract We analyse models of Matrix Quantum Mechanics in the double scaling limit that contain non-singlet states. The finite temperature partition function of such systems contains non-trivial winding modes (vortices) and is expressed in terms of a group theoretic sum over representations. We then focus in the case when the first

Islands in Schwarzschild black holes
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 We study the Page curve for asymptotically flat eternal Schwarzschild black holes in four and higher spacetime dimensions. Before the Page time, the entanglement entropy grows linearly in time.

STRING THEORY ON THREE-DIMENSIONAL BLACK HOLES [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics A, 1998 We investigate the string theory on three-dimensional black holes discovered by Bañados, Teitelboim and Zanelli in the framework of conformal field theory. The model is described by an orbifold of the [Formula: see text] WZW model. The spectrum is analyzed by solving the level matching condition and we obtain winding modes.

Black holes in supergravity and string theory [PDF]
Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2000 We give an elementary introduction to black holes in supergravity and string theory. The focus is on BPS solutions in four- and higher-dimensional supergravity and string theory. Basic ideas and techniques are explained in detail, including exercises with solutions.

Aspects of Topological String Theory [PDF]
, 2008 Two aspects of the topological string and its applications are considered in this thesis. Firstly, non-perturbative contributions to the OSV conjecture relating four-dimensional extremal black holes and the closed topological string partition function ...

On the nonexistence of a vacuum black lens
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 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.

(Non-adiabatic) string creation on nice slices in Schwarzschild black holes
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 Nice slices have played a pivotal role in the discussion of the black hole information paradox as they avoid regions of strong spacetime curvature and yet smoothly cut through the infalling matter and the outgoing Hawking radiation, thus, justifying the ...

The multipolar structure of fuzzballs
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 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 ...

Extremal black holes, Stueckelberg scalars and phase transitions
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 We calculate the entropy of a static extremal black hole in 4D gravity, non-linearly coupled to a massive Stueckelberg scalar. We find that the scalar field does not allow the black hole to be magnetically charged.
