We review the arguments that fundamental string states are in one to one correspondence with black hole states. We demonstrate the power of the assumption by showing that it implies that the statistical entropy of a wide class of nonextreme…
We study the possible existence of charged and neutral black holes in the Bergmann-Wagoner class of scalar-tensor theories (STT) of gravity in four dimensions. The existence of black holes is shown for anomalous versions of these theories,…
We relate across dimensions BPS attractors of black strings and black holes of various topology in gauged supergravities with nontrivial scalar potential. The attractors are of the form AdS$_{2, 3} \times \Sigma^{2, 3}$ in 4, 5, and 6…
Within effective heterotic superstring theory compactified on a six-torus we derive minimum energy (supersymmetric), static, spherically symmetric solutions, which are manifestly invariant under the target space $O(6,22)$ and the…
Some issues on the stability of black string or brane solutions are summarized briefly. The stability of dS/AdS-Schwarzschild black strings has been investigated. Interestingly, the AdS-Schwarzschild black strings turn out to be stable as…
We generalize the entropy function formalism to five-dimensional and four-dimensional non-extremal black holes in string theory. In the near horizon limit, these black holes have BTZ metric as part of the spacetime geometry. It is shown…
For the worldline theory of an extremal black hole, extremality amounts to vanishing ground state energy. In light of recent gravity results one would expect much like the ground state degeneracy this fine tuned condition too will not be…
This paper puts forward a conjecture that there are no black holes in M theory. We will show that a mechanism to prevent black hole formation is needed in 4 dimensions to make string theory a viable high energy model of quantum gravity.…
We present a class of 3D Black Holes based on flat connections which are polynomials in the BTZ $hs(\lambda) \times hs(\lambda)$-valued connection. We solve analytically the fluctuation equations of matter in their background and find the…
We compute the spectrum of quarter BPS dyons in freely acting Z_2 and Z_3 orbifolds of type II string theory compactified on a six dimensional torus. For large charges the result for statistical entropy computed from the degeneracy formula…
The entropy of a near-extremal black hole made of parallel D-branes has been shown to agree, upto a numerical factor, with that of the gas of massless open string states on the brane worldvolume when the string coupling is chosen suitably.…
In the context of string theory, it is possible to explain the microscopic origin of the entropy of certain black holes in terms of D-brane systems. To date, most of the cases studied in detail refer to extremal (supersymmetric) or…
The entropy of the three-charge NS5-F1-P black hole in Type IIA string theory comes from the breaking of $N_1$ F1 strings into $N_1 N_5$ little strings, which become independent momentum carriers. In M theory, the little strings correspond…
We consider black strings in five dimensions and their description as a (4,0) CFT. The CFT moduli space is described explicitly, including its subtle global structure. BPS conditions and global symmetries determine the spectrum of charged…
We have studied the scalar perturbation of static charged dilaton black holes in 2+1 dimensions. The black hole considered here is a solution to the low-energy string theory in 2+1 dimensions. It is asymptotic to the anti-de Sitter space.…
This thesis is devoted to trying to find a microscopic quantum description of black holes. We consider black holes in string theory which is a quantum theory of gravity. We find that the ``area law'' black hole entropy for extremal and…
In this review article we describe some of the recent progress towards the construction and analysis of three-charge configurations in string theory and supergravity. We begin by describing the Born-Infeld construction of three-charge…
We derive and discuss black-hole solutions to the gravitating O(3) $\sigma$ model in (2+1) dimensions. Three different kinds of static black holes are found. One of these resembles the static BTZ black hole, another is completely free of…
We investigate AdS/CFT correspondence for two families of Einstein black holes in d > 3 dimensions, modelling the boundary CFT by a free conformal scalar field and evaluating the boundary two-point function in the bulk geodesic…
The past year has seen enormous progress in string theory. It has become clear that all of the different string theories are different limits of a single theory. Moreover, in certain limits, one obtains a new, eleven-dimensional structure…
