Matter-Ghost Mixing and the Exact 2d Black Hole Metric
نویسنده
چکیده
We study a revised version of Witten’s 2d black hole, in which the matter and (b, c) ghosts are mixed. The level of the coset model is still 9/4. We show that this model is equivalent to that of Mukhi and Vafa, in which the level of the coset model is taken as 3, and the stress tensor is improved. We argue that the exact metric in such a model is just the semi-classical one, quite different from the exact metric in Witten’s black hole, being studied by Dijkgraaf, Verlinde and Verlinde. In addition, there appear ghost-related terms as a part of the background in the world sheet action.

Quantum Evaporation of Liouville Black Holes
The classical field equations of a Liouville field coupled to gravity in two spacetime dimensions are shown to have black hole solutions. Exact solutions are also obtained when quantum corrections due to back reaction effects are included, modifying both the ADM mass and the black hole entropy. The thermodynamic limit breaks down before evaporation of the black hole is complete, indicating that...
متن کاملBlack Holes in the Ghost Condensate
We investigate how the ghost condensate reacts to black holes immersed in it. A ghost condensate defines a hypersurface-orthogonal congruence of timelike curves, each of which has the tangent vector u = −g∂νφ. It is argued that the ghost condensate in this picture approximately corresponds to a congruence of geodesics. In other words, the ghost condensate accretes into a black hole just like a ...
متن کاملGhost Condensation and Gravity in Higgs Phase
A tachyon is considered to be sick in the context of particle mechanics, but in field theory just indicates instability of a background. We consider a similar possibility that a ghost in field theory might be just an indication of instability of a background and that it can condense to form a different background around which there is no ghost. We construct a low energy effective field theory b...
متن کاملThe Virtual Black Hole in 2d Quantum Gravity and Its Relevance for the S-matrix
As shown recently 2d quantum gravity theories — including spherically reduced Einsteingravity — after an exact path integral of its geometric part can be treated perturbatively in the loops of (scalar) matter. Obviously the classical mechanism of black hole formation should be contained in the tree approximation of the theory. This is shown to be the case for the scattering of two scalars throu...
متن کاملSEMICLASSICAL vs. EXACT SOLUTIONS OF CHARGED BLACK HOLE IN FOUR DIMENSIONS AND EXACT O(d, d) DUALITY
We derive a charged black hole solution in four dimensions described by SL(2, R)× SU(2)×U(1)/U(1)2 WZW coset model. Using the algebraic Hamiltonian method we calculate the corresponding solution that is exact to all orders in 1 k . It is shown that unlike the 2D black hole, the singularity remains also in the exact solution, and moreover, in some range of the gauge parameter the space-time does...
