We study string theory on the extended spacetime of the BTZ black hole, as described by an orbifold of the SL(2,R) WZW model. The full spacetime has an infinite number of disconnected boundary components, each corresponding to a dual CFT.…

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…

Aspects of superstring theory on black-strings backgrounds, corresponding to deformed BTZ black holes, formed near $k$ NS5 branes by $p$ fundamental strings, and single-trace $T\bar T+J\bar T+T\bar J$ holography, are presented. It is shown…

We study the spectrum of bosonic string theory on rotating BTZ black holes, using a SL(2,R) WZW model. Previously, Natsuume and Satoh have analyzed strings on BTZ black holes using orbifold techniques. We show how an appropriate spectral…
We propose a method of computing one-loop determinants in black hole spacetimes (with emphasis on asymptotically anti-de Sitter black holes) that may be used for numerics when completely-analytic results are unattainable. The method…
