Quantum Black Holes in Two Dimensions
S. P. de Alwis
We show that a whole class of quantum actions for dilaton-gravity, which reduce to the CGHS theory in the classical limit, can be written as a Liouville-like theory. In a sub-class…
Black Hole Physics from Liouville Theory
S. P. de Alwis
In a previous paper it was shown that the quantum consistency conditions for the dilaton-gravity theory of Callan et al., imply that the cosmological constant term undergoes a dila…
Quantization of a Theory of 2d Dilaton Gravity
S. P. de Alwis
We discuss the quantization of the 2d gravity theory of Callan, Giddings, Harvey, and Strominger (CGHS), following the procedure of David, and of Distler and Kawai. We find that th…
Comments on No-Hair Theorems and Stabilty of Blackholes
S. P. de Alwis
In the light of recent blackhole solutions inspired by string theory, we review some old statements on field theoretic hair on blackholes. We also discuss some stability issues. In…
