Black Holes as Effective Geometries
Vijay Balasubramanian, Jan de Boer, Sheer El-Showk +1
Gravitational entropy arises in string theory via coarse graining over an underlying space of microstates. In this review we would like to address the question of how the classical…
Black Hole Berry Phase
Jan de Boer, Kyriakos Papadodimas, Erik Verlinde
Supersymmetric black holes are characterized by a large number of degenerate ground states. We argue that these black holes, like other quantum mechanical systems with such a degen…
G2 Hitchin functionals at one loop
Jan de Boer, Paul de Medeiros, Sheer El-Showk +1
We consider the quantization of the effective target space description of topological M-theory in terms of the Hitchin functional whose critical points describe seven-manifolds wit…
