Tachyon condensation and black hole entropy.
نویسنده
چکیده
String propagation on a cone with deficit angle 2pi(1-1 / N) is considered for the purpose of computing the entropy of a large mass black hole. The entropy computed using the recent results on condensation of twisted-sector tachyons in this theory is found to be in precise agreement with the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy.

Remarks on Black Hole Instabilities and Closed String Tachyons
Physical arguments stemming from the theory of black-hole thermodynamics are used to put constraints on the dynamics of closed-string tachyon condensation in Scherk– Schwarz compactifications. A geometrical interpretation of the tachyon condensation involves an effective capping of a noncontractible cycle, thus removing the very topology that supports the tachyons. A semiclassical regime is ide...
متن کاملConformally Exact Black Hole Perturbed by a Marginal Operator
We have examined effective theory induced by gauged WZW models, in which the tachyon field is added as a marginal operator. Due to this operator added, we must further add the higher order corrections, which modifies the original configuration, to make the theory full-conformally invariant. It has been found that 2d is a critical dimension in the sense that the metric obtained from gauged WZW i...
متن کاملWinding tachyons in BTZ
Analysing closed string tachyon condensation will improve our understanding of spacetime in string theory. We study the string spectrum on a BTZ black hole spacetime supported by NS-NS flux, which provides a calculable example where we would expect to find a quasi-localised tachyon. We find that there is a winding tachyon when the black hole horizon is smaller than the string scale, as expected...
متن کاملThe phase transition of corrected black hole with f(R) gravity
In this letter, we consider static black hole in f(R) gravity.We take advantage from corrected entropy and temperature and investigate such black hole. Finally, we study the $ P - V $ critically and phase transition of corrected black hole with respect to entropy and temperature. Here also, we obtain the heat capacity for the static black hole in $ f(R) $ gravity. This calculation help us...
متن کاملThe Inside Story: Quasilocal Tachyons and Black Holes
We analyze the fate of excitations in regions of closed string tachyon condensate, a question crucial for understanding unitarity in a class of black holes in string theory. First we introduce a simple new example of quasilocal tachyon condensation in a globally stable AdS/CFT background, and review tachyons’ appearance in black hole physics. Then we calculate forces on particles and fields in ...
