TAUP-2298-95 hep-th/9510212 Black Hole Information vs. Locality
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss the limitations on space time measurement in the Schwarzchild metric. We find that near the horizon the limitations on space time measurement are of the order of the black hole radius. We suggest that it indicates that a large mass black hole cannot be described by means of local field theory even at macroscopic distances and that any attempt to describe black hole formation and evaporation by means of an effective local field theory will necessarily lead to information loss. We also present a new interpretation of the black hole entropy which leads to S = cA , where c is a constant of order 1 which does not depend on the number of fields.

Extremal Black Holes and Elementary String States
Some of the extremal black hole solutions in string theory have the same quantum numbers as the Bogomol'nyi saturated elementary string states. We explore the possibility that these black holes can be identi ed to elementary string excitations. It is shown that stringy e ects could correct the Bekenstein-Hawking formula for the black hole entropy in such a way that it correctly reproduces the l...

Static Black Hole Solutions with Axial Symmetry
We construct a new class of asymptotically flat black hole solutions in EinsteinYang-Mills and Einstein-Yang-Mills-dilaton theory. These black hole solutions are static, and they have a regular event horizon. However, they possess only axial symmetry. Like their regular counterparts, the black hole solutions are characterized by two integers, the winding number n and the node number k of the ga...

We are discussing the S & T duality for special class of heterotic string configurations. This class of solutions includes various types of black hole solutions and Taub-NUT geometries. It allows a self-dual point for both dualities which corresponds to massless configurations. As string state this point corresponds to N R = 1/2 and N L = 0. The string/string duality is shortly discussed.
متن کاملInformation in black hole radiation.
If black hole formation and evaporation can be described by an S matrix, information would be expected to come out in black hole radiation. An estimate shows that it may come out initially so slowly, or else be so spread out, that it would never show up in an analysis perturbative in MP lanck/M , or in 1/N for two-dimensional dilatonic black holes with a large number N of minimally coupled scal...
