abstract

The classical Bekenstein entropy of a black hole is argued to arise from configurations of strings with ends which are frozen on the horizon. Quantum corrections to this entropy are probably finite unlike the case in quantum field theory. Finally it is speculated that all black holes are single string states. The level density of strings is of the right order of magnitude to reproduce the Bekenstein entropy.

Precision asymptotics of string amplitudes

hep-th · 2026-01-14 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

An infinite family of complex saddles plus a bootstrap on multiplicities yields a precise high-energy asymptotic expansion for one-loop string amplitudes with oscillatory terms.

Emergent Closed Universes in Symmetric Orbifold CFTs

hep-th · 2026-06-03 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Large N symmetric orbifold CFTs decompose into superselection sectors that behave as closed universes, with each physical sector becoming one-dimensional after gauging, matching gravitational expectations.

Black Hole Entropy from String Entanglement

hep-th · 2025-09-26 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

String entanglement entropy between folded strings in the sine-Liouville CFT, computed via worldsheet replica trick, accounts for black-hole thermal entropy, with the vertex-operator part matching exactly in the low-temperature large-D limit.

The magic of the gravitational vacuum

hep-th · 2026-06-18 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

The vecro hypothesis introduces a lattice model of the gravitational vacuum whose extended correlations nucleate fuzzballs that destroy semiclassical spacetime near trapped surfaces.
