A family of exact conformal field theories is constructed which describe charged black strings in three dimensions. Unlike previous charged black hole or extended black hole solutions in string theory, the low energy spacetime metric has a regular inner horizon (in addition to the event horizon) and a timelike singularity. As the charge to mass ratio approaches unity, the event horizon remains but the singularity disappears.

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

    hep-th 2026-04 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...
