Black Hole Information Revisited
Andrew Strominger
We argue that four-dimensional black hole evaporation inevitably produces an infinite number of soft particles in addition to the thermally distributed `hard' Hawking quanta, and m…
Mirror Symmetry is T-Duality
Andrew Strominger, Shing-Tung Yau, Eric Zaslow
It is argued that every Calabi-Yau manifold with a mirror admits a family of supersymmetric toroidal 3-cycles. Moreover the moduli space of such cycles together with their…
Statistical Entropy of Four-Dimensional Extremal Black Holes
Juan Maldacena, Andrew Strominger
String theory is used to count microstates of four-dimensional extremal black holes in compactifications with and supersymmetry. The result agrees for large charges wit…
Microscopic Origin of the Bekenstein-Hawking Entropy
A. Strominger, C. Vafa
The Bekenstein-Hawking area-entropy relation is derived for a class of five-dimensional extremal black holes in string theory by counting the degeneracy of BPS soliton…
N=2 Extremal Black Holes
Sergio Ferrara, Renata Kallosh, Andrew Strominger
It is shown that extremal magnetic black hole solutions of N = 2 supergravity coupled to vector multiplets with a generic holomorphic prepotential can be described a…
Unitary Rules for Black Hole Evaporation
Andrew Strominger
Hawking has proposed non-unitary rules for computing the probabilistic outcome of black hole formation. It is shown that the usual interpretation of these rules violates the superp…
A Possible Resolution of the Black Hole Information Puzzle
Joseph Polchinski, Andrew Strominger
The problem of information loss is considered under the assumption that the process of black hole evaporation terminates in the decay of the black hole interior into a baby univers…
Black Holes and Open Strings
Andrew Strominger
This paper has been withdrawn pending revision.
Exact Four-Dimensional Dyonic Black Holes and Bertotti-Robinson Spacetimes in String Theory
David A. Lowe, Andrew Strominger
Conformal field theories corresponding to two-dimensional electrically charged black holes and to two-dimensional anti-de Sitter space with a covariantly constant electric field ar…
Hairy Black Holes in String Theory
S. B. Giddings, J. A. Harvey, Joseph Polchinski +2
Solutions of bosonic string theory are constructed which correspond to four-dimensional black holes with axionic quantum hair. The basic building blocks are the renormalization gro…
White Holes, Black Holes and Cpt in Two Dimensions
Andrew Strominger
It is argued that a unitarity-violating but weakly CPT invariant superscattering matrix exists for leading-order large- dilaton gravity, if and only if one includes in the Hilbe…
Entropy in Black Hole Pair Production
D. Garfinkle, S. B. Giddings, A. Strominger
Pair production of Reissner-Nordstrom black holes in a magnetic field can be described by a euclidean instanton. It is shown that the instanton amplitude contains an explicit facto…
Four Dimensional Black Holes in String Theory
S. B. Giddings, J. Polchinski, A. Strominger
Exact solutions of heterotic string theory corresponding to four-dimensional charge Q magnetic black holes are constructed as tensor products of an SU(2)/Z(2Q+2) WZW orbifold with…
Numerical Analysis of Black Hole Evaporation
Tsvi Piran, Andrew Strominger
Black hole formation/evaporation in two-dimensional dilaton gravity can be described, in the limit where the number of matter fields becomes large, by a set of second-order par…
Information Consumption by Reissner-Nordstrom Black Holes
A. Strominger, S. P. Trivedi
The low-energy scattering of charged fermions by extremal magnetic Reissner-Nordstrom black holes is analyzed in the large- and -wave approximations. It is shown that (in the…
Black Hole Remnants and the Information Puzzle
T. Banks, M. O'Loughlin, A. Strominger
Magnetically charged dilatonic black holes have a perturbatively infinite ground state degeneracy associated with an infinite volume throat region of the geometry. A simple argumen…
S-Wave Scattering of Charged Fermions by a Magnetic Black Hole
Mark Alford, Andrew Strominger
We argue that, classically, -wave electrons incident on a magnetically charged black hole are swallowed with probability one: the reflection coefficient vanishes. However, quant…
Dynamics of Extremal Black Holes
S. B. Giddings, A. Strominger
Particle scattering and radiation by a magnetically charged, dilatonic black hole is investigated near the extremal limit at which the mass is a constant times the charge. Near thi…
String Theory and the Donaldson Polynomial
J. A. Harvey, A. Strominger
It is shown that the scattering of spacetime axions with fivebrane solitons of heterotic string theory at zero momentum is proportional to the Donaldson polynomial.
