abstract

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 flow in the WZW model can be used to generate the twisted sectors, emphasizing how the spectral flow works in the hyperbolic basis natural for the BTZ black hole. We discuss the projection condition which leads to the quantization condition for the allowed quantum numbers for the string excitations, and its connection to the anomaly in the corresponding conserved Noether current.

Deformed BTZ Radiance and Single Trace $T\bar{T}$ Holography

hep-th · 2026-06-24 · accept · novelty 6.0

Long-string emission from rotating λ-deformed BTZ black holes forces a unique origin B-field that matches the value needed for the string spectrum to agree with the Z_w sector of single-trace T T-bar deformed orbifolds, with emission rates universally set by ΔS_BH.

hep-th · 2025-10-17 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

The paper classifies families of closed bosonic string solutions in the near-horizon non-extremal BTZ spacetime and identifies novel features via string-Carroll expansion.
