, Branes and Cosmology : What Can We Hope to Learn ?
This article briefly summarizes the motivations for — and recent progress in — searching for cosmological configurations within string theory, with a focus on how much we might reasonably hope to learn about fundamental physics from precision cosmological measurements. The last few years have seen a number of scientific gatherings which have brought together string theorists and cosmologists in...
متن کاملBranes wrapping Black Holes
We examine the dynamics of extended branes, carrying lower dimensional brane charges, wrapping black holes and black hole microstates in M and Type II string theory. We show that they have a universal dispersion relation typical of threshold bound states with a total energy equal to the sum of the contributions from the charges. In near-horizon geometries of black holes, these are BPS states, a...
متن کاملBranes Probing Black Holes
We consider a brane moving close to a large number of coincident branes. We compare the calculation of the effective action using the gauge theory living on the brane and the calculation using the supergravity approximation. We discuss some general features about the correspondence between large N gauge theories and black holes. Then we do a one loop calculation which applies for extremal and n...

In this paper we try to answer the main question: what is a quantum black hole?
متن کاملBlack holes and D-branes
Black holes have an entropy proportional to the area of the horizon. The microscopic degrees of freedom that give rise to the entropy are not visible in the classical theory. String theory, a quantum theory of gravity, provides a microscopic quantum description of the thermodynamic properties of some extremal and near extremal charged black holes. The description uses properties of some string ...
