Symmetries, Conserved Charges and (Black) Holes in Two Dimensional String Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
Two dimensional string theory is known to have an infinite dimensional symmetry, both in the continuum formalism as well as in the matrix model formalism. We develop a systematic procedure for computing the conserved charges associated with these symmetries for any configuration of D-branes in the continuum description. We express these conserved charges in terms of the boundary state associated with the D-brane, and also in terms of the asymptotic field configurations produced by this D-brane. Comparison of the conserved charges computed in the continuum description with those computed in the matrix model description facilitates identification of the states between these two formalisms. Using this we put constraints on the continuum description of the hole states in the matrix model, and matrix model description of the black holes solutions of the continuum theory. We also discuss possible generalization of the construction of the conserved charges to the case of D-branes in critical string theory.

W ∞ algebras , Hawking radiation , and information retention by stringy black holes
We have argued previously, based on the analysis of two-dimensional stringy black holes, that information in stringy versions of four-dimensional Schwarzschild black holes (the singular regions of which are represented by appropriate Wess-Zumino-Witten models) is retained by quantumW symmetries when the horizon area is not preserved due to Hawking radiation. It is key that the exactly marginal ...
متن کاملStatistical Entropy of Schwarzschild Black Strings and Black Holes
The statistical entropy of a Schwarzschild black string in five dimensions is obtained by counting the black string states which form a representation of the near-horizon conformal symmetry with a central charge. The statistical entropy of the string agrees with its Bekenstein-Hawking entropy as well as that of the Schwarzschild black hole in four dimensions. The choice of the string length whi...
متن کاملProperties of Black Holes in Toroidally Compactified String Theory
We review the macroscopic and microscopic properties of black holes of toroidally compactified heterotic and Type II string theory in dimensions 4 ≤ D ≤ 9. General charged rotating black hole solutions are obtained by acting on a generating solution with classical duality symmetries. In D = 4, D = 5 and 6 ≤ D ≤ 9, the generating solution for both toroidally compactified Type II and heterotic st...
متن کاملSolitonic strings and BPS saturated dyonic black holes.
We consider a six-dimensional solitonic string solution described by a conformal chiral null model with non-trivial N = 4 superconformal transverse part. It can be interpreted as a five-dimensional dyonic solitonic string wound around a compact fifth dimension. The conformal model is regular with the short-distance (‘throat’) region equivalent to a WZW theory. At distances larger than the compa...
متن کاملMicrostates of Four-Dimensional Rotating Black Holes from Near-Horizon Geometry
We show that a class of four-dimensional rotating black holes allow fivedimensional embeddings as black rotating strings. Their near-horizon geometry factorizes locally as a product of the three-dimensional anti-deSitter spacetime and a two-dimensional sphere (AdS3 × S2), with angular momentum encoded in the global space-time structure. Following the observation that the isometries on the AdS3 ...
