چکیده

Susskind has recently shown that a relativistic string approaching the event horizon of a black hole spreads in both the transverse and longitudinal directions in the reference frame of an outside observer. The transverse spreading can be described as a branching diffusion of wee string bits. This stochastic process provides a mechanism for thermalizing the quantum state of the string as it spreads across the stretched horizon.

Susskind has recently shown that a relativistic string approaching the event horizon of a black hole spreads in both the transverse and longitudinal directions in the reference frame of an outside observer. The transverse spreading can be described as a branching di usion of wee string bits. This stochastic process provides a mechanism for thermalizing the quantum state of the string as it spre...

Black Hole Thermalization, D0 Brane Dynamics, and Emergent Spacetime

When matter falls past the horizon of a large black hole, the expectation from string theory is that the configuration thermalizes and the information in the probe is rather quickly scrambled away. The traditional view of a classical unique spacetime near a black hole horizon conflicts with this picture. The question then arises as to what spacetime does the probe actually see as it crosses a h...

The phenomenon of string spreading on the black hole horizon, as originally discussed by Susskind, is considered in the exact curved Schwarzschild background. We consider an oscillating string encircling the black hole and contracting towards the horizon. We then compute the angular and radial spreading of the string, as seen by a static observer at spatial infinity using fixed finite resolutio...

How far does the analogy between causal horizon - induced thermalization with the standard heat bath situation go ?

After a short presentation of KMS states and modular theory as the unifying description of thermalizing systems we propose the absence of transverse vacuum fluctuations in the holographic projections as the principle reason for an area behavior (the transverse area) of localization entropy as opposed to the volume dependence of ordinary heat bath entropy. Thermalization through causal localizat...

Boosted quantum black hole and black string in M-theory, and quantum correction to Gregory-Laflamme instability

We take into account higher derivative R4 corrections in M-theory and construct quantum black hole and black string solutions in 11 dimensions up to the next leading order. The quantum black string is stretching along the 11th direction and the Gregory-Laflamme instability is examined at the quantum level. Thermodynamics of the boosted quantum black hole and black string are also discussed. Esp...
