The Physics Inside Topological Quantum Field Theories
Roger Brooks
We show that the equations of motion defined over a specific field space are realizable as operator conditions in the physical sector of a generalized Floer theory defined over tha…
String Physics and Black Holes
Leonard Susskind, John Uglum
In these lectures we review the quantum physics of large Schwarzschild black holes. Hawking's information paradox, the theory of the stretched horizon and the principle of black ho…
The Number of States of Two Dimensional Critical String Theory
T. Banks, L. Susskind
We discuss string theory vacua which have the wrong number of spacetime dimensions, and give a crude argument that vacua with more than four large dimensions are improbable. We the…
Particle Growth and BPS Saturated States
Leonard Susskind
Consistency of the Bekenstein bound on entropy requires the physical dimensions of particles to grow with momentum as the particle is boosted to transplanckian energies. In this pa…
Supersymmetric Balance of Forces and Condensation of BPS States
Renata Kallosh, Andrei Linde
Until now all known static multi black hole solutions described BPS states with charges of the same sign. Such solutions could not be related to flat directions in the space of BPS…
Null Surfaces, Initial Values and Evolution Operators for Scalar Fields
Ronald J. Adler, Ovid C. Jacob
We analyze the initial value problem for scalar fields obeying the Klein-Gordon equation. The standard Cauchy initial value problem for second order differential equation is to con…
