Hidden Structures of Black Holes
Bert Vercnocke
This thesis investigates two main topics concerning black holes in extensions of general relativity inspired by string theory. First, the structure of the equations of motion under…
Lectures on Scattering Amplitudes in String Theory
Wieland Staessens, Bert Vercnocke
In these lecture notes, we take a closer look at the calculation of scattering amplitudes for the bosonic string. It is believed that string theories form the UV completions of (su…
Black holes, first-order flow equations and geodesics on symmetric spaces
Jan Perz, Paul Smyth, Thomas Van Riet +1
For both extremal and non-extremal spherically symmetric black holes in theories with massless scalars and vectors coupled to gravity, we derive a general form of first-order gradi…
First-order flow equations for extremal and non-extremal black holes
Jan Perz, Paul Smyth, Thomas Van Riet +1
We derive a general form of first-order flow equations for extremal and non-extremal, static, spherically symmetric black holes in theories with massless scalars and vectors couple…
Killing superalgebra deformations of ten-dimensional supergravity backgrounds
José Figueroa-O'Farrill, Bert Vercnocke
We explore Lie superalgebra deformations of the Killing superalgebras of some ten-dimensional supergravity backgrounds. We prove the rigidity of the Poincare superalgebras in types…
