abstract

We study the configuration of a typical highly excited string as one slowly increases the string coupling. The dominant interactions are the long range dilaton and gravitational attraction. In four spacetime dimensions, the string slowly contracts from its initial (large) size until it approaches the string scale where it forms a black hole. In higher dimensions, the string stays large until the coupling reaches a critical value, and then it rapidly collapses to a black hole. The implications for the recently proposed correspondence principle are discussed.

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.

One-loop effect in the charged 2D black hole near extremality

hep-th · 2026-04-16 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

The one-loop correction to near-extremal quantum entropy in this charged 2D black hole is exponentially suppressed at low temperature but scales as sqrt(beta) when the sl(2,R) level and SL(2,R)-U(1) coupling are tuned, providing a worldsheet realization of the black hole/string transition.

Quantum fate of the Choptuik naked singularity

gr-qc · 2026-06-15 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Quantum backreaction generates horizons that cloak the Choptuik naked singularity, reducing its predictability violation to the standard black hole evaporation problem.

Superball of Strings

hep-th · 2026-01-14 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

A random-walk-sized fuzzball of BPS superstrings in supergravity is proposed to describe generic BPS microstates instead of a singular black hole.

From Horowitz -- Polchinski to Thirring and Back

hep-th · 2025-09-03 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

New continuation method via affine SU(2)_L x SU(2)_R level variation relates near-Hagedorn black holes and HP solutions to solvable EFT limit of non-abelian Thirring model.
