Black Holes and String Theory
This is a short summary of my lectures given at the Fourth Mexican School on Gravitation and Mathematical Physics. These lectures gave a brief introduction to black holes in string theory, in which I primarily focussed on describing some of the recent calculations of black hole entropy using the statistical mechanics of D-brane states. The following overview will also provide the interested stu...
متن کاملBlack Holes, Entropy, and Information
Black holes are a continuing source of mystery. Although their classical properties have been understood since the 1970’s, their quantum properties raise some of the deepest questions in theoretical physics. Some of these questions have recently been answered using string theory. I will review these fundamental questions, and the aspects of string theory needed to answer them. I will then expla...
متن کاملCaged Black Holes: Black Holes in Compactified Spacetimes I – Theory
In backgrounds with compact dimensions there may exist several phases for black objects including the black-hole and the black-string, and the phase transition between them raises puzzles and touches fundamental issues such as topology change, uniqueness and cosmic censorship. No analytic solution is known for the black hole, and moreover, one can expect approximate solutions only for very smal...
متن کاملQuantum theory of black holes.
A solvable 2-dimensional conformally invariant midi-superspace model for black holes is obtained by imposing spherical symmetry in 4-dimensional conformally invariant Einstein gravity. The Wheeler-DeWitt equation for the theory is solved exactly to obtain the unique quantum wave functional for an isolated black hole with fixed mass. By suitably relaxing the boundary conditions, a non-perturbati...
متن کاملBlack Holes in Matrix Theory
Matrix theory [1] appears to capture a remarkable amount of the nonperturbative structure of string/M-theory. At generic values of the moduli, most of the localized states of the latter are black holes. One would like to see how matrix theory encodes their basic properties { geometry, dynamics of test particles, thermodynamics, decay via the Hawking process, etc. First steps in this direction h...
