Three-Dimensional Black Holes and String Theory

چکیده
The exact decay rate for emission of massless minimally coupled scalar fields by a non-extremal black hole in 2 + 1 dimensions is obtained. At low energy, the decay rate into scalars with zero angular momentum is correctly reproduced within conformal field theory. The conformal field theory has both leftand rightmoving sectors and their contribution to the decay rate is associated naturally with left and right temperatures of the black hole.

Exact Three Dimensional Black Holes in String Theory
A black hole solution to three dimensional general relativity with a negative cosmological constant has recently been found. We show that a slight modification of this solution yields an exact solution to string theory. This black hole is equivalent (under duality) to the previously discussed three dimensional black string solution. Since the black string is asymptotically flat and the black ho...
متن کاملBlack Holes, Holography and Moduli Space Metric
String theory can accommodate black holes with the black hole parameters related to string moduli. It is a well known but remarkable feature that the near horizon geometry of a large class of black holes arising from string theory contains a BTZ part. A mathematical theorem (Sullivan’s Theorem) relates the three dimensional geometry of the BTZ metric to the conformal structures of a two dimensi...
متن کاملOn Universality in Black Hole Thermodynamics
The last three years have seen dramatic progress in the understanding of the microscopic description of black holes initiated by the identification of certain dyonic black holes and Bogomol’nyi saturated states in string theory . Such configuration arise as vacua in compactified superstring theory. The microscopic description then requires some understanding of the corresponding world sheet con...
متن کاملLarge-D gravity and low-D strings.
We show that in the limit of a large number of dimensions a wide class of nonextremal neutral black holes has a universal near-horizon limit. The limiting geometry is the two-dimensional black hole of string theory with a two-dimensional target space. Its conformal symmetry explains the properties of massless scalars found recently in the large-D limit. For black branes with string charges, the...
متن کاملBoosts, Schwarzschild Black Holes and Absorption cross-sections in M theory
D dimensional neutral black strings wrapped on a circle are related to (D−1) dimensional charged black holes by boosts. We show that the boost has to be performed in the covering space and the boosted coordinate has to be compactified on a circle with a Lorentz contracted radius. Using this fact we show that the transition between Schwarzschild holes to black p-branes observed recently in M the...
متن کاملRelating black holes in two and three dimensions.
The three dimensional black hole solutions of Bañados, Teitelboim and Zanelli (BTZ) are dimensionally reduced in various different ways. Solutions are obtained to the JackiwTeitelboim theory of two dimensional gravity for spinless BTZ black holes, and to a simple extension with a non-zero dilaton potential for black holes of fixed spin. Similar reductions are given for charged black holes. The ...
