Playing with Black Strings
Gary T. Horowitz
We review recent work showing that there exists a large class of new stable black strings which are not translationally invariant. Both neutral and charged black strings are consid…
AdS Dynamics from Conformal Field Theory
Tom Banks, Michael R. Douglas, Gary T. Horowitz +1
We explore the extent to which a local string theory dynamics in anti-de Sitter space can be determined from its proposed Conformal Field Theory (CFT) description. Free fields in t…
The Dark Side of String Theory: Black Holes and Black Strings
Gary T. Horowitz
Solutions to low energy string theory describing black holes and black strings are reviewed. Many of these solutions can be obtained by applying simple solution generating transfor…
Topology Change in General Relativity
Gary T. Horowitz
A review is given of recent work on topology changing solutions to the first order form of general relativity. These solutions have metrics which are smooth everywhere, invertible…
Ashtekar's Approach to Quantum Gravity
Gary T. Horowitz
A review is given of work by Abhay Ashtekar and his colleagues Carlo Rovelli, Lee Smolin, and others, which is directed at constructing a nonperturbative quantum theory of general…
