AdS/CFT duality and the black hole information paradox
Oleg Lunin, Samir D. Mathur
Near-extremal black holes are obtained by exciting the Ramond sector of the D1-D5 CFT, where the ground state is highly degenerate. We find that the dual geometries for these groun…
The slowly rotating near extremal D1-D5 system as a `hot tube'
Oleg Lunin, Samir D. Mathur
The geometry of the D1-D5 system with a small angular momentum j has a long throat ending in a conical defect. We solve the scalar wave equation for low energy quanta in this geome…
Metric of the multiply wound rotating string
Oleg Lunin, Samir D. Mathur
We consider a string wrapped many times around a compact circle in space, and let this string carry a right moving wave which imparts momentum and angular momentum to the string. T…
The Quantum Physics of Black Holes: Results from String Theory
Sumit R. Das, Samir D. Mathur
We review recent progress in our understanding of the physics of black holes. In particular, we discuss the ideas from string theory that explain the entropy of black holes from a…
Three-point functions for M^N/S^N orbifolds with N=4 supersymmetry
Oleg Lunin, Samir D. Mathur
The D1-D5 system is believed to have an `orbifold point' in its moduli space where its low energy theory is a N=4 supersymmetric sigma model with target space M^N/S^N, where M is T…
Gravity on and flat connections in the boundary CFT
Samir D. Mathur
We consider the CFT that arises from the D1-D5 system in the presence of a constant background gauge potential which couples to the R-charge of the theory: this potential effective…
