Some Remarks on 't Hooft's S-matrix for Black Holes
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss the limitations of 't Hooft's proposal for the black hole S-matrix. We find that the validity of the S-matrix implies violation of the semi-classical approximation at scales large compared to the Planck scale. We also show that the effect of the centrifugal barrier on the S-matrix is crucial even for large transverse distances.

On the Occasion of Gerard 't Hooft's 60th Birthday the Holographic Principle
This note has been written on the occasion of Gerard 't Hooft's 60th birthday celebration. It is not a technical paper but just a collection of discussions that the three authors had with Gerard, mostly in relation with the idea of holography and aspects of quantum black hole physics. Leonard Susskind (Professor of Physics at the University of Stanford) is a leader in various areas of Theoretic...

It has recently been shown that the uniqueness theorem for stationary black holes cannot be extended to five dimensions. However, uniqueness is an important assumption of the string theory black hole entropy calculations. This paper justifies this assumption by proving a uniqueness theorem for supersymmetric black holes in five dimensions. Some remarks concerning general properties of non-super...

We criticize and generalize some properties of Nöther charges presented in a paper by V. Iyer and R. M. Wald and their application to entropy of black holes. The first law of black holes thermodynamics is proven for any gauge-natural field theory. As an application charged Kerr-Newman solutions are considered. As a further example we consider a (1 + 2) black hole solution. 1
متن کاملRemarks on Thermal Strings outside Black Holes
We discuss the semiclassical approximation to the level density of (super) strings propagating in non-compact coset manifolds G/H. We show that the WKB ansatz agrees with heuristic red-shift arguments with respect to the “exact” sigma-model metric, up to some deviations from minimal coupling, parametrized by the dilaton. This approximation is used to study thermal ensembles of free strings in b...
