String Physics and Black Holes
Leonard Susskind, John Uglum
In these lectures we review the quantum physics of large Schwarzschild black holes. Hawking's information paradox, the theory of the stretched horizon and the principle of black ho…
Black Hole Complementarity vs. Locality
David A. Lowe, Joseph Polchinski, Leonard Susskind +2
The evaporation of a large mass black hole can be described throughout most of its lifetime by a low-energy effective theory defined on a suitably chosen set of smooth spacelike hy…
Information Spreading in Interacting String Field Theory
D. A. Lowe, L. Susskind, J. Uglum
The commutator of string fields is considered in the context of light cone string field theory. It is shown that the commutator is in general non--vanishing outside the string ligh…
Black Hole Entropy in Canonical Quantum Gravity and Superstring Theory
L. Susskind, J. Uglum
In this paper the entropy of an eternal Schwarzschild black hole is studied in the limit of infinite black hole mass. The problem is addressed from the point of view of both canoni…
The Stretched Horizon and Black Hole Complementarity
L. Susskind, L. Thorlacius, J. Uglum
Three postulates asserting the validity of conventional quantum theory, semi-classical general relativity and the statistical basis for thermodynamics are introduced as a foundatio…
