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 ...

On black holes in string theory [PDF]
, 2011 PhDThis thesis investigates black holes in string theory through string amplitudes and through gauge-gravity duality. The research presented in this thesis supports the claim that string theory is capable of a consistent quantum-mechanical description

Cosmic necklaces in string theory and field theory [PDF]
, 2010 PhDIn this thesis we investigate astrophysical phenomena which arise in models with compact extra dimensions, focussing on the cosmological consequences of strings which wrap cycles in the internal space. Embedding our strings in the Klebanov-Strassler

Spontaneous scalarization in (A)dS gravity at zero temperature
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 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 ...

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

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 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 ...

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.

A stringy glimpse into the black hole horizon
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 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).

An entropy current for dynamical black holes in four-derivative theories of gravity
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 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.
