5D Black Holes and Strings with Higher Derivatives
نویسندگان
چکیده
We find asymptotically flat black hole and string solutions to 5D supergravity in the presence of higher derivative terms. In some cases, including the fundamental heterotic string solution, the higher derivative terms smooth out naked singularities into regular geometries carrying zero entropy. We also compute corrections to the entropy of 5D CalabiYau black holes, and discuss the relation to previous results.

5D Black Holes and Matrix Strings
We derive the world-volume theory, the (non)-extremal entropy and background geometry of black holes and black strings constructed out of the NS IIA fivebrane within the framework of matrix theory. The CFT description of strings propagating in the black hole geometry arises as an effective field theory.
متن کاملStringy Corrections to Kaluza-Klein Black Holes
We consider string theory corrections to 4D black holes which are solutions of the 5D vacuum Einstein equations. We find that the corrections vanish only for the extremal electric solution. We also show that for the non-extremal electric black hole the mass corrections are related to the charge corrections. The implications to string states counting and the correspondence principle for black ho...
متن کاملBlack holes admitting a Freudenthal dual
The quantised charges x of four dimensional stringy black holes may be assigned to elements of an integral Freudenthal triple system whose automorphism group is the corresponding U-duality and whose U-invariant quartic norm ∆(x) determines the lowest order entropy. Here we introduce a Freudenthal duality x→ x̃, for which ̃̃ x = −x. Although distinct from U-duality it nevertheless leaves ∆(x) inva...
متن کاملNon-abelian black holes and black strings in higher dimensions
We review the properties of static, higher dimensional black hole solutions in theories where non-abelian gauge fields are minimally coupled to gravity. It is shown that black holes with hyperspherically symmetric horizon topology do not exist in d > 4, but that hyperspherically symmetric black holes can be constructed numerically in generalized Einstein-Yang-Mills models. 5dimensional black st...
متن کاملFundamental Strings and Higher Derivative Corrections to d-Dimensional Black Holes
We study aspects of d-dimensional black holes with two electric charges, corresponding to fundamental strings with generic momentum and winding on an internal circle. The perturbative α corrections to such black holes and their gravitational thermodynamics are obtained. The latter are derived using the Euclidean approach and the Wald formula for the entropy. We find that the entropy and the cha...
