Expanding and contracting universes in third quantized string cosmology
A. Buonanno, M. Gasperini, M. Maggiore +1
We discuss the possibility of quantum transitions from the string perturbative vacuum to cosmological configurations characterized by isotropic contraction and decreasing dilaton.…
Towards a non-singular pre-big bang cosmology
M. Gasperini, M. Maggiore, G. Veneziano
We discuss general features of the -function equations for spatially flat, -dimensional cosmological backgrounds at lowest order in the string-loop expansion, but to all…
Symmetry breaking aspects of the effective Lagrangian for quantum black holes
A. Buonanno, S. Foffa, M. Maggiore +1
The physical excitations entering the effective Lagrangian for quantum black holes are related to a Goldstone boson which is present in the Rindler limit and is due to the spontane…
Effective Lagrangian for Quantum Black Holes
A. Buonanno, M. Gattobigio, M. Maggiore +2
We discuss the most general effective Lagrangian obtained from the assumption that the degrees of freedom to be quantized, in a black hole, are on the horizon. The effective Lagran…
The Energy Spectrum of the Membrane effective Model for Quantum Black Holes
Carlos O. Lousto
We study first order fluctuations of a relativistic membrane in the curved background of a black hole. The zeroth-order solution corresponds to a spherical membrane tightly coverin…
Black Hole Complementarity and the Physical Origin of the Stretched Horizon
Michele Maggiore
We discuss the idea of black hole complementarity, recently suggested by Susskind et al., and the notion of stretched horizon, in the light of the generalized uncertainty principle…
