Black Hole Non-Formation in the Matrix Model
Joanna L. Karczmarek, Juan Maldacena, Andrew Strominger
The leading classical low-energy effective actions for two-dimensional string theories have solutions describing the gravitational collapse of shells of matter into a black hole. I…
Superconformal Gauge Theories and Non-Critical Superstrings
Igor R. Klebanov, Juan M. Maldacena
We consider effective actions for six-dimensional non-critical superstrings. We show that the addition of units of R-R flux and of space-time filling D5-branes produces $…
Exact vs. Semiclassical Target Space of the Minimal String
Juan Maldacena, Gregory Moore, Nathan Seiberg +1
We study both the classical and the quantum target space of (p,q) minimal string theory, using the FZZT brane as a probe. By thinking of the target space as the moduli space of FZZ…
Wormholes in AdS
Juan Maldacena, Liat Maoz
We construct a few Euclidean supergravity solutions with multiple boundaries. We consider examples where the corresponding boundary field theory is well defined on each boundary. W…
