Extreme dyonic black holes in string theory [PDF]

, 1996
Supersymmetric extreme dyonic black holes of toroidally compactified heterotic or type II string theory can be viewed as lower-dimensional images of solitonic strings wound around a compact dimension.

Hecke relations in rational conformal field theory

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018
We define Hecke operators on vector-valued modular forms of the type that appear as characters of rational conformal field theories (RCFTs). These operators extend the previously studied Galois symmetry of the modular representation and fusion algebra of

Multi-instantons in minimal string theory and in matrix integrals

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022
We compute the normalization of the general multi-instanton contribution to the partition function of (p′, p) minimal string theory and also to the dual two-matrix integral. We find perfect agreement between the two results.

The DOZZ formula from the path integral

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018
We present a rigorous proof of the Dorn, Otto, Zamolodchikov, Zamolodchikov formula (the DOZZ formula) for the 3 point structure constants of Liouville Conformal Field Theory (LCFT) starting from a rigorous probabilistic construction of the functional ...

Black hole microstates from the worldsheet

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021
Recently an exact worldsheet description of strings propagating in certain black hole microstate geometries was constructed in terms of null-gauged WZW models.

Space-time CFTs from the Riemann sphere

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017
We consider two-dimensional chiral, first-order conformal field theories governing maps from the Riemann sphere to the projective light cone inside Minkowski space — the natural setting for describing conformal field theories in two fewer dimensions ...

A puncture in the Euclidean black hole

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022
We consider the backreaction of the winding condensate on the cigar background. We focus on the case of the SL(2, ℝ) k /U(1) cigar associated with, e.g., the near-horizon limit of k NS5 black-branes.

Boundary states, matrix factorisations and correlation functions for the E-models [PDF]

, 2006
The open string spectra of the B-type D-branes of the N=2 E-models are calculated. Using these results we match the boundary states to the matrix factorisations of the corresponding Landau-Ginzburg models.

Stringy information and black holes

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020
We show that in string theory, due to non-perturbative effects, there are cases in which two states that semi-classically are completely different, are in fact the same.

Relaxation in Conformal Field Theory, Hawking-Page Transition, and Quasinormal/Normal Modes [PDF]

, 2002
We study the process of relaxation back to thermal equilibrium in $(1+1)$-dimensional conformal field theory at finite temperature. When the size of the system is much larger than the inverse temperature, perturbations decay exponentially with time.
