Absorption of Fixed scalars and the D-brane Approach to Black Holes
C. G. Callan, S. S. Gubser, I. R. Klebanov +1
We calculate the emission and absorption rates of fixed scalars by the near-extremal five-dimensional black holes that have recently been modeled using intersecting D-branes. We fi…
Black Holes in String Theory
Juan M. Maldacena
This thesis is devoted to trying to find a microscopic quantum description of black holes. We consider black holes in string theory which is a quantum theory of gravity. We find th…
Field Theories for Learning Probability Distributions
William Bialek, Curtis G. Callan, S. P. Strong
Imagine being shown samples of random variables drawn independently from the same distribution. What can you say about the distribution? In general, of course, the answer is no…
D-brane Approach to Black Hole Quantum Mechanics
Curtis G. Callan, Juan M. Maldacena
Strominger and Vafa have used D-brane technology to identify and precisely count the degenerate quantum states responsible for the entropy of certain extremal, BPS-saturated black…
