Probing Supersymmetric Black Holes with Surface Defects
Yiming Chen, Matthew Heydeman, Yifan Wang +1
It has long been conjectured that the large deconfinement phase transition of super-Yang-Mills corresponds via AdS/CFT to the Hawking-Page transit…
Estimating global charge violating amplitudes from wormholes
Ibrahima Bah, Yiming Chen, Juan Maldacena
We consider the scattering of high energy and ultra relativistic spherically symmetric shells in asymptotically AdS spacetimes. We analyze an exclusive amplitude where a single…
Spectral form factor for free large gauge theory and strings
Yiming Chen
We investigate the spectral form factor in two different systems, free large gauge theories and highly excited string gas. In both cases, after a rapid decay of the spectral fo…
On the black hole/string transition
Yiming Chen, Juan Maldacena, Edward Witten
We discuss aspects of the possible transition between small black holes and highly excited fundamental strings. We focus on the connection between black holes and the self gravitat…
String scale black holes at large
Yiming Chen, Juan Maldacena
We study aspects of black holes near the Hagedorn temperature. The large dimension expansion introduced by Soda, Emparan, Grumiller and Tanabe connects them to the well studied two…
Revisiting higher curvature corrections to black holes
Yiming Chen
We revisit the corrections to black holes due to the terms in the action. We discuss corrections to the metric and possible scalar fields, as well as corrections to thermodyn…
