We develop means of computing exact degerenacies of BPS black holes on toric Calabi-Yau manifolds. We show that the gauge theory on the D4 branes wrapping ample divisors reduces to 2D q-deformed Yang-Mills theory on necklaces of P^1's. As…
The large N limit of extremal non-supersymmetric Type-I five-dimensional string black holes is studied from the point of view of D-branes. We find that the agreement between the D-brane and the black-hole picture is due to an asymptotic…
It is known that the M-branes of M-theory correspond to p-form charges in the D=11 spacetime supersymmetry algebra. Here we show that their intersections are encoded in the p-form charges of their worldvolume supersymmetry algebras. Triple…
We construct multi-center solutions for charged, dilatonic, non-extremal black holes in D=4. When an infinite array of such non-extremal black holes are aligned periodically along an axis, the configuration becomes independent of this…
This is a set of introductory lecture notes on black holes in string theory. After reviewing some aspects of string theory such as dualities, brane solutions, supersymmetric and non-extremal intersection rules, we analyze in detail extremal…
We present a class of supersymmetric Godel solutions in string theory from the non-standard intersection of branes in supergravities. Such solutions are obtained by applying a T-duality on the known solutions in PP-wave spacetime. We…
A candidate supergravity solution of intersecting D7-branes with a five-dimensional intersecting domain (an I5-brane) is presented. This displays an enhanced Poincare symmetry and supersymmetry away from the brane cores. We also explore the…
Many black hole solutions of General Relativity are known to be linearly exact. This opens a way to study them in gauge theories that apart from gravity contain fields of higher spin $s>2$. Starting with a black brane in $AdS_4$ we find its…
We explore the interplay between black holes in supergravity and quantum field theories on the world-volumes of D-branes. A brief summary of black hole entropy calculations for D-brane black holes is followed by a detailed study of particle…
We address the delocalization of low dimensional D-branes and NS-branes when they are a part of a higher dimensional BPS black brane, and the homogeneity of the resulting horizon. We show that the effective delocalization of such branes is…
We derive static spherically-symmetric vacuum solutions of the low-energy effective action for the two brane Randall-Sundrum model. The solutions with non-trivial radion belong to a one-parameter family describing traversable wormholes…
We propose a toy model for study merger transitions in a curved spaceime with an arbitrary number of dimensions. This model includes a bulk N-dimensional static spherically symmetric black hole and a test D-dimensional brane interacting…
The interplay between topological defects (branes) and black holes has been a subject of recent study, motivated in part by interest in brane-world scenarios. In this paper we analyze in detail the description of a black hole bound to a…
We construct explicit examples of microstate geometries of four-dimensional black holes that lift to smooth horizon-free geometries in five dimensions. Solutions consist of half-BPS D-brane atoms distributed in $\mathbb{R}^3$. Charges and…
We review the method of constructing dipole and string loop solutions from the higher-dimensional (Euclidean) Kerr black hole. We analyse the results in various dimensions, finding solutions earlier given in the literature. Then we…
We consider the collision in 2+1 dimensions of a black hole and a negative tension brane on an orbifold. Because there is no gravitational radiation in 2+1 dimensions, the horizon area shrinks when part of the brane falls through. This…
In this talk we discuss black hole solutions in six-dimensional gravity with a Gauss- Bonnet term in the bulk and an induced gravity term on a thin 3-brane of codimension-2. It is shown that these black holes can be localized on the…
We present new M2 and M5-brane solutions in M-theory based on transverse Gibbons-Hawking spaces. These solutions provide realizations of fully localized type IIA D2/D6 and NS5/D6 brane intersections. One novel feature of these solutions is…
A family of black-hole solutions in the model with 1-component perfect fluid is obtained. The metric of any solution contains (n -1) Ricci-flat "internal space" metrics and for certain equations of state coincides with the metric of black…
We study the collision of a brane with a black hole. Our aim is to explore the topology changing process of perforation of a brane. The brane is described as a field theoretical domain wall in the context of an axion-like model consisting…
