Off-Shell Strings II: Black Hole Entropy
Amr Ahmadain, Aron C. Wall
In 1994, Susskind and Uglum argued that it is possible to derive the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy from string theory. In this article we explain the conceptual underpinnings…

Off-Shell Strings I: S-matrix and Action
Amr Ahmadain, Aron C. Wall
We explain why Tseytlin's off-shell formulation of string theory is well-defined. Although quantizing strings on an off-shell background requires an arbitrary choice of Weyl frame,…

Boundary Description of Microstates of the Two-Dimensional Black Hole
Amr Ahmadain, Alexander Frenkel, Krishnendu Ray +1
We identify the microstates of the non supersymmetric, asymptotically flat 2d black hole in the dual c=1 matrix quantum mechanics (MQM). We calculate the partition function of the…
