We propose that a large Schwarzschild black hole (BH) is a bound state of highly excited, long, closed strings at the Hagedorn temperature. The size of the bound state is smaller than the string random-walk scale and determined dynamically…

In this paper, we study by a functional method the vacuum instability of a charged scalar field, when it is quantized in the background of the Reissner-Nordtrom black hole; we also show that the first stage of the evaporation process of the…
The exact solution for a static spherically symmetric field outside a charged point particle is found in a non-linear $U(1)$ gauge theory with a logarithmic Lagrangian. The electromagnetic self-mass is finite, and for a particular relation…
We derive the metric for a Schwarzschild black hole with global monopole charge by relaxing asymptotic flatness of the Schwarzschild field. We then study the effect of global monopole charge on particle orbits and the Hawking radiation. It…
