Black Holes and Strings: Searching for Nature’s Secret Code

نویسنده

  • Herman Verlinde
چکیده

Black holes exist. A watertight experimental proof has not yet been given, but astrophysicists have now convincing evidence that these remarkable objects exist all over our universe. Most black holes are formed when a burnt out star collapses under its own weight and, after a brief apocalyptic battle, becomes trapped in the most hermetic prison that exists: the event horizon, from which not even a beam of light can escape.

Constraints on cosmic strings due to black holes formed from collapsed cosmic string loops.

The cosmological features of primordial black holes formed from collapsed cosmic string loops are studied. Observational restrictions on a population of primordial black holes are used to restrict f , the fraction of cosmic string loops which collapse to form black holes, and µ, the cosmic string mass-per-unit-length. Using a realistic model of cosmic strings, we find the strongest restriction ...

Improved Approximation Algorithm for the Number of Queries Necessary to Identify a Permutation

In the past three decades, deductive games have become interesting from the algorithmic point of view. Deductive games are two players zero sum games of imperfect information. The first player, called ”codemaker”, chooses a secret code and the second player, called ”codebreaker”, tries to break the secret code by making as few guesses as possible, exploiting information that is given by the cod...

Exact Description of Black Holes on Branes II: Comparison with BTZ Black Holes and Black Strings

We extend our recent discussion of four-dimensional black holes bound to a two-brane to include a negative cosmological constant on the brane. We find that for large masses, the solutions are precisely BTZ black holes on the brane, and BTZ ‘black strings’ in the bulk. For smaller masses, there are localized black holes which look like BTZ with corrections that fall off exponentially. We compute...

On the Query Complexity of Black-Peg AB-Mastermind

Mastermind game is a two players zero sum game of imperfect information. The first player, called “codemaker”, chooses a secret code and the second player, called “codebreaker”, tries to break the secret code by making as few guesses as possible, exploiting information that is given by the codemaker after each guess. In this paper, we consider the so called Black-Peg variant of Mastermind, wher...

Non-abelian black holes and black strings in higher dimensions

We review the properties of static, higher dimensional black hole solutions in theories where non-abelian gauge fields are minimally coupled to gravity. It is shown that black holes with hyperspherically symmetric horizon topology do not exist in d > 4, but that hyperspherically symmetric black holes can be constructed numerically in generalized Einstein-Yang-Mills models. 5dimensional black st...
