High-energy gravitational scattering and black hole resonances
Steven B. Giddings, Mark Srednicki
Aspects of super-planckian gravitational scattering and black hole formation are investigated, largely via a partial-wave representation. At large and decreasing impact parameters,…
Black holes, information, and locality
Steven B. Giddings
Thirty years of a deepening information paradox suggest the need to revise our basic physical framework. Multiple indicators point toward reassessment of the principle of locality:…
Gravitational effects in ultrahigh-energy string scattering
Steven B. Giddings, David J. Gross, Anshuman Maharana
Ultrahigh-energy string scattering is investigated to clarify the relative role of string and gravitational effects, and their possible contributions to nonlocal behavior. Differen…
A global picture of quantum de Sitter space
Steven B. Giddings, Donald Marolf
Perturbative gravity about a de Sitter background motivates a global picture of quantum dynamics in `eternal de Sitter space,' the theory of states which are asymptotically de Sitt…
Quantization in black hole backgrounds
Steven B. Giddings
Quantum field theory in a semiclassical background can be derived as an approximation to quantum gravity from a weak-coupling expansion in the inverse Planck mass. Such an expansio…
