On the Stringy Hartle-Hawking State

High Energy Physics - Theory 2016-03-23 v1

Abstract

We argue that non-perturbative α\alpha' stringy effects render the Hartle-Hawking state associated with the SL(2)/U(1)SL(2)/U(1) eternal black hole singular at the horizon. We discuss implications of this observation on firewalls in string theory.
