How many black holes fit on the head of a pin?
Frederik Denef, Gregory W. Moore
The Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of certain black holes can be computed microscopically in string theory by mapping the elusive problem of counting microstates of a strongly gravitat…
Black Hole Deconstruction
Frederik Denef, Davide Gaiotto, Andrew Strominger +2
A D4-D0 black hole can be deconstructed into a bound state of D0 branes with a D6-anti-D6 pair containing worldvolume fluxes. The exact spacetime solution is known and resembles a…
Split States, Entropy Enigmas, Holes and Halos
Frederik Denef, Gregory W. Moore
We investigate degeneracies of BPS states of D-branes on compact Calabi-Yau manifolds. We develop a factorization formula for BPS indices using attractor flow trees associated to m…
Physics of String Flux Compactifications
Frederik Denef, Michael R. Douglas, Shamit Kachru
We provide a qualitative review of flux compactifications of string theory, focusing on broad physical implications and statistical methods of analysis.
