Horowitz-Polchinski Solutions at Large
Jinwei Chu, David Kutasov
In arXiv:2509.02905 [hep-th], we introduced an approximation that allows one to study Horowitz-Polchinski backgrounds beyond the weak coupling regime. In this paper we describe the…
On Cosmological Singularities in String Theory
Jinwei Chu, David Kutasov
We study the time evolution of a dimensional spacetime, where space is a large three-sphere, due to small perturbations of the background fields. We focus on two classes of d…
From Horowitz -- Polchinski to Thirring and Back
Jinwei Chu, David Kutasov
We propose a new approach for studying dimensional Euclidean Schwarzschild black holes with Hawking temperature near the Hagedorn temperature and Horowitz-Polchinski solution…
From Black Strings to Fundamental Strings: Non-uniformity and Phase Transitions
Jinwei Chu
We discuss the transition between black strings and fundamental strings in the presence of a compact dimension, . In particular, we study the Horowitz-Polchinski ef…
