We explicitly compute the entropy of an extremal dyonic black hole in heterotic string theory compactified on T^6 or K3\times T^2 by taking into account all the tree level four derivative corrections to the low energy effective action. For…
We consider static black holes, which are bosonic solutions of supersymmetric theories. We will show that supersymmetry provides a natural framework for a discussion of various properties of such static black holes. The most fundamental…
A lattice model of critical dense polymers is solved exactly for arbitrary system size on the torus. More generally, an infinite family of lattice loop models is studied on the torus and related to the corresponding Fortuin-Kasteleyn random…
We give a fully analytical description of radial and angular geodesics for massive particles that travel in the spacetime provided by a (3+1)-dimensional scale-dependent black hole in the cosmological background, for which, the quantum…
We study correlation functions for extremal supersymmetric black holes. It is necessary to take into account the strongly coupled nature of the boundary supergraviton mode. We consider the case with ${\cal N}=2$ supercharges which is the…
We study the charged black hole solutions of a 2+1 nonlinear electrodynamical theory with cosmological constant. Considered as a one-parameter group of theories (the exponent of the squared Maxwell tensor) the causal structure of all…
We investigate thermodynamical properties of four and five dimensional black hole solutions of toroidally compactified string theory. We derive an analog of Smarr's formula and verify it directly using the metric.
We construct four-dimensional gravity theories that resolve the Schwarzschild singularity and enable dynamical studies of nonsingular gravitational collapse. The construction employs a class of nonpolynomial curvature invariants that…
Properties of four quintic theta functions are developed in parallel with those of the classical Jacobi null theta functions. The quintic theta functions are shown to satisfy analogues of Jacobi's quartic theta function identity and…
In the framework of the four-dimensional effective theory of heterotic superstrings at low energies, which is considered as a generalised theory of gravity, we search for new black hole solutions. The analytical expressions of all the…
We extend a formula for 1-loop black hole determinants by Denef, Hartnoll, and Sachdev (DHS) to spinning fields on any $(d+1)$-dimensional static spherically symmetric black hole. By carefully analyzing the regularity condition imposed on…
We construct static, spherically symmetric black hole solutions in quasi-topological gravity (QTG) coupled to Born-Infeld nonlinear electrodynamics. Starting from the spherically reduced action, we derive closed-form expressions for the…
It is becoming increasingly clear that the supercharacter theory of the finite group of unipotent upper-triangular matrices has a rich combinatorial structure built on set-partitions that is analogous to the partition combinatorics of the…
This paper explores the moduli-dependent coefficients of higher derivative interactions that appear in the low-energy expansion of the four-graviton amplitude of maximally supersymmetric string theory compactified on a d-torus. These…
We investigate 3d $\mathscr{N}=2$ supersymmetric gauge theories on $S^1 \times S^2$ and the corresponding 2d effective field theories arising in the limit of small ratio of radii, $\beta=R_{S^1}/R_{S^2}\to 0$. We evaluate the exact…
We compute the emission spectrum of minimally coupled particles with spin that are Hawking radiated from four dimensional black holes in string theory. For a range of the black hole parameters the result has a product structure that may be…
In recent literature, it has been argued that a mild form of the Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC) is satisfied by wide classes of effective field theories in which higher-derivative corrections can be shown to shift the charge-to-mass ratios…
Rotating charged black strings are solutions of four-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell equations with a negative cosmological constant and a non-trivial topology. According to the AdS/CFT correspondence, these black strings are dual to rotating…
Higher genus partition functions of two-dimensional conformal field theories have to be invariants under linear actions of mapping class groups. We illustrate recent results [4,6] on the construction of such invariants by concrete…
We present two-parameter solutions of the low-energy four-dimensional heterotic string which in the extremal limit reduce to supersymmetric monopole, string and domain wall solutions. The effective scalar coupling to the Maxwell field,…
