The quantum structure of black holes
Samir D. Mathur
We give an elementary review of black holes in string theory. We discuss black hole entropy from string microstates and Hawking radiation from these states. We then review the stru…

Dynamics of supertubes
Stefano Giusto, Samir D. Mathur, Yogesh K. Srivastava
We find the evolution of arbitrary excitations on 2-charge supertubes, by mapping the supertube to a string carrying traveling waves. We argue that when the coupling is increased f…

The fuzzball proposal for black holes: an elementary review
Samir D. Mathur
We give an elementary review of black holes in string theory. We discuss BPS holes, the microscopic computation of entropy and the `fuzzball' picture of the black hole interior sug…
