Anti-de Sitter Fragmentation
Juan Maldacena, Jeremy Michelson, Andrew Strominger
Low-energy, near-horizon scaling limits of black holes which lead to string theory on AdS_2 x S^2 are described. Unlike the higher-dimensional cases, in the simplest approach all f…
AdS2 Quantum Gravity and String Theory
Andrew Strominger
AdS2 has an SL(2,R) isometry group. It is argued that in the context of quantum gravity on AdS2 this group is enlarged to the full infinite-dimensional 1+1 conformal group. Massive…
AdS3 Black Holes and a Stringy Exclusion Principle
Juan Maldacena, Andrew Strominger
The duality relating near-horizon microstates of black holes obtained as orbifolds of a subset of AdS3 to the states of a conformal field theory is analyzed in detail. The SL(2,R)…
Statistical Entropy of De Sitter Space
Juan M. Maldacena, Andrew Strominger
Quantum gravity in 2+1 dimensions with a positive cosmological constant can be represented as an SL(2,C) Chern-Simons gauge theory. The symmetric vacuum of this theory is a degener…
Black Hole Entropy from Near-Horizon Microstates
Andrew Strominger
Black holes whose near-horizon geometries are locally, but not necessarily globally, AdS (three-dimensional anti-de Sitter space) are considered. Using the fact that quantum gr…
