A black hole solution to low energy type IIA string theory which is extremal, non-supersymmetric, and carries 0- and 6-brane charge is presented. For large values of the charges it is metastable and a corresponding D-brane picture can be…
This is an expanded version of a talk given at ``{\em IInd Recontre du Vietnam}'' held at Ho Chi Minh City in October, 1995. We discuss several aspects of black hole entropy in string theory. We first explain why the geometric entropy in…
In this article we derive the Bekenstein-Hawking formula of black hole entropy from a single string. We consider a open string in the Rindler metric which can be obtained in the large mass limit from the Schwarzschild black hole metric. By…
We argue that the effective theory describing the long-wavelength dynamics of black branes is the same effective theory that describes the dynamics of biophysical membranes. We improve the phase structure of higher-dimensional black rings…
To test recent ideas about lower dimensional gravity bound to a brane, we construct exact solutions describing black holes on two-branes in four dimensions. We find that 2+1 gravity is indeed recovered at large distances along the brane,…
We relate the structure of non-perturbative corrections to BPS black hole observables in flat-spacetime theories with certain properties of probe charged particles in the near-horizon geometry. Concretely, we consider 4d $\mathcal{N} = 2$…
We investigate the impact of braneworld theory on the astrophysical environment surrounding a black hole. The black hole is sourced by localized matter from the bulk, which could describe both regular and singular (Schwarzschild) black…
We consider the supergravity solution describing a configuration of intersecting D-4-branes with non-vanishing worldvolume gauge fields. The entropy of such a black hole is calculated in terms of the D-branes quantised charges. The…
We consider non-spherically symmetric perturbations of the uncharged black string/flat black brane in the large dimension (D) limit of general relativity. We express the perturbations in a simplified form using variables introduced by…
The string-black hole correspondence principle can be investigated in the non-BPS scenario by studying the string configuration and entropy when the string coupling is slowly increased. Through a rigorous analysis, it is shown how an…
We obtain some exact results for black holes in the Randall-Sundrum model with a single brane. We consider an extreme black hole charged with respect to a Maxwell field on the brane. The near-horizon geometry is determined. The induced…
The problem with Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of black hole can be resolved with quantum gravity theory with Dp-branes as supergravity solutions of type IIB string theory. Dp-brane solutions of type IIB are a direct analog of the…
In this paper we propose that bubbles of AdS within Minkowski spacetime, stabilized at a finite radius by stiff matter and an electromagnetic gas, can be an alternative endpoint of gravitational collapse. The bubbles are horizonless with a…
In four dimensions there are 4 different types of extremal Maxwell/scalar black holes characterized by a scalar coupling parameter $a$ with $a=0,1/\sqrt{3} , 1 , \sqrt{3}$. These black holes can be described as intersections of…
We show that four-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton-Gauss-Bonnet gravity admits asymptotically flat black hole solutions with a degenerate event horizon of the Reissner-Nordstr\"om type $AdS_2\times S^2$. Such black holes exist for the…
We numerically investigate the dynamics near black hole formation of solutions to the Einstein--Vlasov system in axisymmetry. Our results are obtained using a particle-in-cell and finite difference code based on the $(2+1)+1$ formulation of…

We study charged black hole solutions in Einstein-Maxwell-Gauss-Bonnet theory with the dilaton field which is the low-energy effective theory of the heterotic string. The spacetime is $D$-dimensional and assumed to be static and plane…
We study physical properties and global structures of a time-dependent, spherically symmetric solution obtained via the dimensional reduction of intersecting M-branes. We find that the spacetime describes a maximally charged black hole…
The coupling of a string to gravity allows for Schwarzschild black holes whose entropy to area relation is $S=(A/4)(1-4\mu)$, where $\mu$ is the string tension. This departure from the A/4 universality results from a string instanton…
