abstract
Numerical methods have allowed the construction of vacuum non-uniform strings. For sufficient non-uniformity, the local geometry about the minimal horizon sphere (the "waist") was conjectured to be a cone metric. We are able to test this conjecture explicitly giving strong evidence in favour of it. We also show how to extend the conjecture to weakly charged strings.

String Theory in a Pinch: Resolving the Gregory-Laflamme Singularity
Near-Hagedorn string solutions show that in five and six spacetime dimensions, the Gregory-Laflamme pinch halts at a stable stringy neck that slowly evaporates, avoiding a naked singularity.
