A Stringy Cloak for a Classical Singularity

چکیده
We consider a class of 4D supersymmetric black hole solutions, arising from string theory compactifications, which classically have vanishing horizon area and singular spacetime geometry. String theory motivates the inclusion of higher derivative terms, which convert these singular classical solutions into regular black holes with finite horizon area. In particular, the supersymmetric attractor equations imply that the central charge, which determines the radius of the AdS2 × S near horizon geometry, acquires a non-vanishing value due to quantum effects. In this case quantum corrections to the Bekenstein-Hawking relation between entropy and area are large. This is the first explicit example where stringy quantum gravity effects replace a classical null singularity by a black hole with finite horizon area.

Stringy quantum effects in 2-dimensional Black-Hole
We discuss the classical 2-dim. black-hole in the framework of the non-perturbative formulation (in terms of non-relativistic fermions) of c = 1 string field theory. We identify an off-shell operator whose classical equation of motion is that of tachyon in the classical graviton-dilaton black-hole background. The black-hole ‘singularity’ is identified with the fermi surface in the phase space o...
متن کاملStringy Zeta Functions for Q–gorenstein Varieties
The stringy Euler number and stringy E–function are interesting invariants of log terminal singularities, introduced by Batyrev. He used them to formulate a topological mirror symmetry test for pairs of certain Calabi–Yau varieties, and to show a version of the McKay correspondence. It is a natural question whether one can extend these invariants beyond the log terminal case. Assuming the Minim...
متن کاملInvisibility cloak without singularity
An elliptical invisible cloak is proposed using a coordinate transformation in the ellipticalcylindrical coordinate system, which crushes the cloaked object to a line segment instead of a point. The elliptical cloak is reduced to a nearly-circular cloak if the elliptical focus becomes very small. The advantage of the proposed invisibility cloak is that none of the parameters is singular and the...
متن کاملTemperatures of extremal black holes
The temperature of an extremal Reissner Nordstrom black hole is not restricted by the requirement of absence of a conical singularity. It is demonstrated how Kruskal-like coordinates may be constructed corresponding to any temperature whatsoever. A recently discovered stringy extremal black hole which apparently has an infinite temperature is also shown to have its temperature unrestricted by c...
متن کاملOn the Hard Lefschetz property of stringy Hodge numbers
For projective varieties with a certain class of ‘mild’ isolated singularities and for projective threefolds with arbitrary Gorenstein canonical singularities, we show that the stringy Hodge numbers satisfy the Hard Lefschetz property (i.e. h st ≤ h p+1,q+1 st for p+ q ≤ d− 2, where d is the dimension of the variety). This result fits nicely with a 6-dimensional counterexample of Mustaţă and Pa...
