Cinderella Strings
A. Achucarro, R. Gregory, J. A. Harvey +1
We investigate recent claims concerning a new class of cosmic string solutions in the Weinberg-Salam model. They have the general form of previously discussed semi-local and electr…
Hairy Black Holes in String Theory
S. B. Giddings, J. A. Harvey, Joseph Polchinski +2
Solutions of bosonic string theory are constructed which correspond to four-dimensional black holes with axionic quantum hair. The basic building blocks are the renormalization gro…
Scattering of Macroscopic Heterotic Strings
J. P. Gauntlett, J. A. Harvey, M. M. Robinson +1
We show that macroscopic heterotic strings, formulated as strings which wind around a compact direction of finite but macroscopic extent, exhibit non-trivial scattering at low ener…
