Two Dimensional String Theory And Black Holes

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

This lecture surveys a few loosely related topics, ranging from the scarcity of quantum field theories -- and the role that this has played, and still plays, in physics -- to paradoxes involving black holes in soluble two dimensional string theory and the question of whether naked singularities might be of even greater interest to string theorists than black holes.
