Towards an S-matrix Description of Gravitational Collapse
D. Amati, M. Ciafaloni, G. Veneziano
Extending our previous results on trans-Planckian () scattering of light particles in quantum string-gravity we present a calculation of the corresponding S-matrix fr…
The information paradox
Daniele Amati
The incompatibility between gravity and quantum coherence represented by black holes should be solved by a consistent quantum theory that contains gravity as superstring theory. De…
How strings solve the apparent contradiction between black holes and quantum coherence
Daniele Amati
Computations in the calculable small coupling regime of string theories and the general consensus that no new physics has to be invoked in continuing to the large coupling (black h…
Fundamental Strings as Black Bodies
D. Amati, J. G. Russo
We show that the decay spectrum of massive excitations in perturbative string theories is thermal when averaged over the (many) initial degenerate states. We first compute the incl…
Black holes, string theory and quantum coherence
Daniele Amati
On the basis of recently discovered connections between D-branes and black holes, I show how the information puzzle is solved by superstring theory as the fundamental theory of qua…
Black holes by analytic continuation
D. Amati, J. G. Russo
In the context of a two-dimensional exactly solvable model, the dynamics of quantum black holes is obtained by analytically continuing the description of the regime where no black…
On Induced Gravity in 2-d Topological Theories
D. Amati S. Elitzur, E. Rabinovici
We study 2-d gauge theories with the objective to understand, also at the quantum level, the emergence of induced gravity. The wave functionals - representing the eigenstates…
