Black Holes, Newtonian Scattering and Conformal Field Theory A

چکیده
We discuss non-relativistic scattering by a Newtonian potential. We show that the gray-body factors associated with scattering by a black hole exhibit the same functional dependence as scattering amplitudes in the Newtonian limit, which should be the weak-field limit of any quantum theory of gravity. This behavior arises independently of the presence of supersymmetry. The connection to two-dimensional conformal field theory is also discussed.

متن کاملMirror Mirror On The Wall ( On Two - Dimensional Black Holes and Liouville Theory )
We present a novel derivation of the duality between the two-dimensional Euclidean black hole and supersymmetric Liouville theory. We realise these (1+1)-dimensional conformal field theories on the worldvolume of domain walls in a (2+1)-dimensional gauge theory. We show that there exist two complementary descriptions of the domain wall dynamics, resulting in the two mirror conformal field theor...
متن کاملStrings , Black Holes and Conformal Field Theory ⋆
The SL(2,IR)/U(1) gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten model is an exact conformal field theory describing a black hole in two-dimensional space-time. The free field approach of Bershadsky and Kutasov is a suitable formulation of this CFT in order to compute physically interesting quantities of this black hole. We find the space-time interpretation of this model for k = 9/4 and show that it reproduces the...

A classical two dimensional theory of gravity which has a number of interesting features (including a Newtonian limit, black holes and gravitational collapse) is quantized using conformal field theoretic techniques. The critical dimension depends upon Newton's constant, permitting models with d = 4. The constraint algebra and scaling properties of the model are computed.
متن کاملA Conformal Affine Toda Model of 2d-black Holes the End-point State and the S-matrix
In this paper we investigate in more detail our previous formulation of the dilaton-gravity theory by Bilal–Callan–de Alwis as a SL2-conformal affine Toda (CAT) theory. Our main results are: i) a field redefinition of the CAT-basis in terms of which it is possible to get the black hole solutions already known in the literature; ⋆ Also Sezione I.N.F.N. dell’Università di Milano, 20133 Milano, It...
