Resource Letter NSST-1: The Nature and Status of String Theory
Donald Marolf
This Resource Letter provides a guide to some of the the introductory and review literature in string theory. It is in no way complete, though it is intended to be of use to studen…
Notes on Spacetime Thermodynamics and the Observer-dependence of Entropy
Donald Marolf, Djordje Minic, Simon Ross
Due to the Unruh effect, accelerated and inertial observers differ in their description of a given quantum state. The implications of this effect are explored for the entropy assig…
On the Status of Highly Entropic Objects
Donald Marolf, Rafael Sorkin
It has been proposed that the entropy of any object must satisfy fundamental (holographic or Bekenstein) bounds set by the object's size and perhaps its energy. However, most discu…
Simple sufficient conditions for the generalized covariant entropy bound
Raphael Bousso, Eanna E. Flanagan, Donald Marolf
The generalized covariant entropy bound is the conjecture that the entropy of the matter present on any non-expanding null hypersurface L will not exceed the difference between the…
Fermions, T-duality and effective actions for D-branes in bosonic backgrounds
Donald Marolf, Luca Martucci, Pedro J. Silva
We find the effective action for any D-brane in a general bosonic background of supergravity. The results are explicit in component fields up to second order in the fermions and ar…
