Geons with spin and charge
Jorma Louko, Robert B. Mann, Donald Marolf
We construct new geon-type black holes in D>3 dimensions for Einstein's theory coupled to gauge fields. A static nondegenerate vacuum black hole has a geon quotient provided the sp…
Note on Bound States and the Bekenstein Bound
Donald Marolf, Radu Roiban
In this brief note we draw attention to examples of quantum field theories which may hold interesting lessons for attempts to devise a precise formulation of the Bekenstein bound.…
Gyrating Strings: A new instability of black strings?
Donald Marolf, Belkis Cabrera Palmer
A thermodynamic argument is presented suggesting that near-extremal spinning D1-D5-P black strings become unstable when their angular momentum exceeds $J_{crit} = {3Q_1Q_5}/2\sqrt{…
The explicit form of the effective action for F1 and D-branes
Donald Marolf, Luca Martucci, Pedro J. Silva
In this work we consider the full interacting effective actions for fundamental strings and D-branes in arbitrary bosonic type II supergravity backgrounds. The explicit form of the…
Holography and Eternal Inflation
David A. Lowe, Donald Marolf
We show that eternal inflation is compatible with holography. In particular, we emphasize that if a region is asymptotically de Sitter in the future, holographic arguments by thems…
Counting Supertubes
Belkis Cabrera Palmer, Donald Marolf
The quantum states of the supertube are counted by directly quantizing the linearized Born-Infeld action near the round tube. The result is an entropy $S = 2π\sqrt{2 (Q_{D0}Q_{F1}-…
