Physics-to-gauge conversion at black hole horizons
نویسنده
چکیده
Requiring the presence of a horizon imposes constraints on the physical phase space. After a careful analysis of dilaton gravity in 2D with boundaries (including the Schwarzschild and Witten black holes as prominent examples), it is shown that the classical physical phase space is smaller as compared to the generic case if horizon constraints are imposed. Conversely, the number of gauge symmetries is larger for the horizon scenario. In agreement with a recent conjecture by ’t Hooft, we thus find that physical degrees of freedom are converted into gauge degrees of freedom at a horizon.

Possible Resolution of Black Hole Singularities from Large N Gauge Theory
We point out that the recent conjecture relating large N gauge theories to string theory in anti-de Sitter spaces offers a resolution in principle of many problems in black hole physics. This is because the gauge theory also describes spacetimes which are not anti-de Sitter, and include black hole horizons and curvature singularities. gary, [email protected]

متن کاملConformal Symmetries of the Einstein-Hilbert Action on Horizons of Stationary and Axisymmetric Black Holes
We suggest a way to study possible conformal symmetries on black hole horizons. We do this by carrying out a Kaluza-Klein like reduction of the Einstein-Hilbert action along the ignorable coordinates of stationary and axisymmetric black holes. Rigid diffeomorphism invariance of the m-ignorable coordinates then becomes a global SL(m,R) gauge symmetry of the reduced action. Related to each non-va...
متن کاملGauge theory origins of supergravity causal structure
We discuss the gauge theory mechanisms which are responsible for the causal structure of the dual supergravity. For D-brane probes we show that the light cone structure and Killing horizons of supergravity emerge dynamically. They are associated with the appearance of new light degrees of freedom in the gauge theory, which we explicitly identify. This provides a picture of physics at the horizo...
متن کاملKilling Horizons Kill Horizon Degrees
Frequently it is argued that the microstates responsible for the Bekenstein–Hawking entropy should arise from some physical degrees of freedom located near or on the black hole horizon. In this Essay we elucidate that instead entropy may emerge from the conversion of physical degrees of freedom, attached to a generic boundary, into unobservable gauge degrees of freedom attached to the horizon. ...
