Boundary signature of singularity in the presence of a shock wave

Gary T. Horowitz, Henry Leung, Leonel Queimada +1

Matter falling into a Schwarzschild-AdS black hole from the left causes increased focussing of ingoing geodesics from the right, and, as a consequence, they reach the singularity s…

Black Holes, Shock Waves, and Causality in the AdS/CFT Correspondence

Gary T. Horowitz, N. Itzhaki

We find the expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor in the CFT corresponding to a moving black hole in AdS. Boosting the black hole to the speed of light, keeping the total…

An Extreme Black Hole with Electric Dipole Moment

Gary T. Horowitz, Tsukasa Tada

We construct a new extreme black hole solution in toroidally compactified heterotic string theory. The black hole saturates the Bogomol'nyi bound, has zero angular momentum, but no…

Rotating Black Holes which Saturate a Bogomol'nyi Bound

Gary Horowitz, Ashoke Sen

We construct and study the electrically charged, rotating black hole solution in heterotic string theory compactified on a dimensional torus. This black hole is characteri…

Extremal black holes as exact string solutions

G. T. Horowitz, A. A. Tseytlin

We show that the leading order solution describing an extremal electrically charged black hole in string theory is, in fact, an exact solution to all orders in $\a'$ when interpret…

An Equivalence Between Momentum and Charge in String Theory

James H. Horne, Gary T. Horowitz, Alan R. Steif

It is shown that for a translationally invariant solution to string theory, spacetime duality interchanges the momentum in the symmetry direction and the axion charge per unit leng…
