The Dark Side of String Theory: Black Holes and Black Strings
read the original abstract
Solutions to low energy string theory describing black holes and black strings are reviewed. Many of these solutions can be obtained by applying simple solution generating transformations to the Schwarzschild metric. In a few cases, the corresponding exact conformal field theory is known. Various properties of these solutions are discussed including their global structure, singularities, and Hawking temperature. (This review is based on lectures given at the 1992 Trieste Spring School on String Theory and Quantum Gravity.)

New analytic solutions of non-SUSY black branes in $10$-D heterotic supergravity and the phase transition
New exact non-SUSY black brane solutions in 10D heterotic supergravity with two gauge charges show a spontaneous symmetry breaking and dynamical instability at low temperature that predicts additional black hole solutions.

Thermodynamics and the Joule-Thomson expansion of dilaton black holes in 2+1 dimensions
Thermodynamic analysis of dilaton black holes in 2+1D shows two stability regimes based on N, a Hawking-Page transition at N=6/5, and Joule-Thomson expansion after introducing a new parameter to satisfy the first law.
