Black Holes and String Theory
Robert C. Myers
This is a short summary of my lectures given at the Fourth Mexican School on Gravitation and Mathematical Physics. These lectures gave a brief introduction to black holes in string…
Black Holes in Higher Curvature Gravity
Robert C. Myers
A review of recent investigations of black holes in higher curvature theories of gravity.
Wavy Horizons?
R. C. Myers
We describe the application of a gravity wave-generating technique to certain higher dimensional black holes. We find that the induced waves generically destroy the event horizon p…
Two-dimensional dilaton black holes
G. Michaud, R. C. Myers
The two-dimensional CGHS model provides an interesting toy-model for the study of black hole evaporation. For this model, a quantum effective action, which incorporates Hawking rad…
Black Hole Entropy and Renormalization
Jean-Guy Demers, Rene Lafrance, Robert C. Myers
Using a new regulator, we examine 't Hooft's approach for evaluating black hole entropy through a statistical-mechanical counting of states for a scalar field propagating outside t…
