In a recent essay, we discussed the possibility of using polymer sizing to model the collapse of a single, long excited string to a black hole. In this letter, we apply this idea to bring further support to string/black hole correspondence. In particular, we reproduce Horowitz and Polchinki's results for self-gravitating fundamental strings and speculate on the nature of the quantum degrees of freedom of black holes in string theory.

  1. Phases of String Stars in the Presence of a Spatial Circle

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    String star phase diagrams on a spatial circle are computed: new d=2 solutions, a quartic-induced d=5 swallowtail, and an anomalous d=6 stability pattern.
