Black-hole-wave duality in string theory.
Extreme 4-dimensional dilaton black holes embedded into 10-dimensional geometry are shown to be dual to the gravitational waves in string theory. The corresponding gravitational waves are the generalization of pp-fronted waves, called supersymmetric string waves. They are given by Brinkmann metric and the twoform field, without a dilaton. The non-diagonal part of the metric of the dual partner ...
متن کاملString-string duality for some black hole type solutions
We apply the duality transformation relating the heterotic to the IIA string in 6D to the class of exact string solutions described by the chiral null model and derive explicit formulas for all fields after reduction to 4D. If the model is restricted to asymptotically flat black hole type solutions with well defined mass and charges the purely electric solutions on the heterotic side are mapped...
متن کاملBlack Hole Condensation and the Unification of String Vacua
It is argued that black hole condensation can occur at conifold singularities in the moduli space of type II Calabi–Yau string vacua. The condensate signals a smooth transition to a new Calabi–Yau space with different Euler characteristic and Hodge numbers. In this manner string theory unifies the moduli spaces of many or possibly all Calabi–Yau vacua. Elementary string states and black holes a...
متن کاملBlack Hole Entropy and String Theory
This is an expanded version of a talk given at “IInd Recontre du Vietnam” held at Ho Chi Minh City in October, 1995. We discuss several aspects of black hole entropy in string theory. We first explain why the geometric entropy in two dimensional noncritical string theory is nonperturbatively finite. We then explain the philosophy of regarding massive string states as black branes and how the Be...
متن کاملFinite black hole entropy and string theory.
An accelerating observer sees a thermal bath of radiation at the Hawking temperature which is proportional to the acceleration. Also, in string theory there is a Hagedorn temperature beyond which one cannot go without an infinite amount of energy. Several authors have shown that in the context of Hawking radiation a limiting temperature for string theory leads to a limiting acceleration, which ...
