Dilatonic Black Holes , Naked Singularities and Strings

چکیده
We extend a previous calculation which treated Schwarzschild black hole horizons as quantum mechanical objects to the case of a charged, dilaton black hole. We show that for a unique value of the dilaton parameter a, which is determined by the condition of unitarity of the S matrix, black holes transform at the extremal limit into strings.

4d neutral dilatonic black holes and (4 + p) dimensional nondilatonic black p-branes Abstract It is shown that, in contrast to the case of extreme 4d dilatonic black holes, 4d neutral dilatonic black holes with horizon singularities can not be interpreted as nonsingular nondilatonic black p-branes in (4 + p) dimensions, regardless of the number of extra dimensions p. That is, extra dimensions d...
متن کاملP-brane Black Holes as Stability Islands
In multidimensional gravity with an arbitrary number of internal Ricci-flat factor spaces, interacting with electric and magnetic p -branes, spherically symmetric configurations are considered. It is shown that all single-brane black hole solutions are stable under spherically symmetric perturbations, whereas similar solutions possessing naked singularities turn out to be catastrophically unsta...
متن کاملEffective spatial dimension of extremal non-dilatonic black p-branes and the description of entropy on the world volume
By investigating the critical behavior appearing at the extremal limit of the non-dilatonic, black p-branes in (d+ p) dimensions, we find that some critical exponents related to the critical point obey the scaling laws. From the scaling laws we obtain that the effective spatial dimension of the non-dilatonic black holes and black strings is one, and is p for the non-dilatonic black p-branes. Fo...
متن کامل5D Black Holes and Strings with Higher Derivatives
We find asymptotically flat black hole and string solutions to 5D supergravity in the presence of higher derivative terms. In some cases, including the fundamental heterotic string solution, the higher derivative terms smooth out naked singularities into regular geometries carrying zero entropy. We also compute corrections to the entropy of 5D CalabiYau black holes, and discuss the relation to ...
متن کاملBlack holes and singularities in string theory
This is a summary of a lecture I gave at the workshop on dynamics and thermodynamics of black holes and naked singularities at Politecnico Milano. It is directed to a non-expert audience and reviews several ways in which string theory accounts for black hole microstates. In particular, I give an elementary introduction to the correspondence principle by Horowitz/Polchinski, to the state countin...
