Description of Black Hole Microstates by Means of a Free Affine-Scalar Field
Alex Giacomini
In this article we will investigate the origin of central extensions in the Poisson algebra of charges, which arise in the dimensionally reduced theories describing black holes. We…
Two Dimensional Conformal Symmetry and the Microscopic Interpretation of Black Hole Entropy
Alex Giacomini
In this thesis the research work, done by the author in the three years of his Ph.D. study, will be exposed. The role of two dimensional conformal field theories will be discussed.…
Classical Liouville Theory and the Microscopic Interpretation of Black Hole Entropy
Alex Giacomini
In this paper we will give a general introduction to the role of conformal symmetry in the microscopic interpretation of black hole entropy and then compute the entropy of a Schwar…
Poisson Algebra of Diffeomorphism Generators in a Spacetime Containing a Bifurcation
Alex Giacomini
In this article we will analyze the possibility of a nontrivial central extension of the Poisson algebra of the diffeomorphism generators, which respect certain boundary conditions…
