Black Hole Background

We show that an integral transform of the fluctuations of the collective field of the d=1 matrix model satisfy the same linearized equation as that of the massless “tachyon” in the black hole background of the two-dimensional critical string. This suggests that the d=1 matrix model may provide a non-perturbative description of black holes in two-dimensional string theory.

We identify a quantity in the c = 1 matrix model which describes the wave function for physical scattering of a tachyon from a black hole of the two-dimensional critical string theory. At the semiclassical level this quantity corresponds to the usual picture of a wave coming in from infinity, part of which enters the black hole becoming singular at the singularity, while the rest is scattered back to infinity, with nothing emerging from the white hole. We find, however, that the exact non-perturbative wave function is non-singular at the singularity and appears to end up in the asymptotic region "behind" the singularity.

Asymptotic Observer

We review the study of D-particles in the two-dimensional black-hole background, concentrating on aspects of the dynamics that are sensitive to the region behind the horizon. Surprisingly, the portion of the trajectory behind the horizon appears to an asymptotic observer as ghost D-particle. This suggests a way of constructing a matrix model for the Lorentzian black-hole background. PACS No.: 11.25.Uv

Black Hole Background

We investigate the string theory on three-dimensional black holes discovered by Bañados, Teitelboim and Zanelli in the framework of conformal field theory. The model is described by an orbifold of the [Formula: see text] WZW model. The spectrum is analyzed by solving the level matching condition and we obtain winding modes. We then study the ghost problem and show explicit examples of physical states with negative norms. We discuss the tachyon propagation and the target space geometry, which are irrelevant to the details of the spectrum. we find a self-dual T-duality transformation reversing the black hole mass. We also discuss difficulties in string theory on curved space–time and possibilities of obtaining a sensible string theory on three-dimensional black holes. This work is the first attempt to quantize a string theory in a black hole background with an infinite number of propagating modes.

We further study the non-perturbative formulation of two-dimensional black holes. We find a nonlinear differential equation satisfied by the tachyon in the black hole background. We show that singularities in the tachyon field configurations are always associated with divergent semiclassical expansions and are absent in the exact theory. We also discuss how the Euclidean black hole emerges from an analytically continued fermion theory that corresponds to the right side up harmonic oscillator potential.

Abstract We study a unitary matrix model of the Gross-Witten-Wadia type, extended with the addition of characteristic polynomial insertions. The model interpolates between solvable unitary matrix models and is the unitary counterpart of a deformed Cauchy ensemble. Exact formulas for the partition function and Wilson loops are given in terms of Toeplitz determinants and minors and large N results are obtained by using Szegö theorem with a Fisher-Hartwig singularity. In the large N (planar) limit with two scaled couplings, the theory exhibits a surprisingly intricate phase structure in the two-dimensional parameter space.

Remarkable Agreement

Abstract In a recent paper, Balthazar, Rodriguez and Yin found remarkable agreement between the one instanton contribution to the scattering amplitudes of two dimensional string theory and those in the matrix model to the first subleading order. The comparison was carried out numerically by analytically continuing the external energies to imaginary values, since for real energies the string theory result diverges. We use insights from string field theory to give finite expressions for the string theory amplitudes for real energies. We also show analytically that the imaginary parts of the string theory amplitudes computed this way reproduce the full matrix model results for general scattering amplitudes involving multiple closed strings.

Linear Dilaton Black Hole

Abstract We derive a novel four-dimensional black hole with planar horizon that asymptotes to the linear dilaton background. The usual growth of its entanglement entropy before Page’s time is established. After that, emergent islands modify to a large extent the entropy, which becomes finite and is saturated by its Bekenstein-Hawking value in accordance with the finiteness of the von Neumann entropy of eternal black holes. We demonstrate that viewed from the string frame, our solution is the two-dimensional Witten black hole with two additional free bosons. We generalize our findings by considering a general class of linear dilaton black hole solutions at a generic point along the σ-model renormalization group (RG) equations. For those, we observe that the entanglement entropy is “running” i.e. it is changing along the RG flow with respect to the two-dimensional worldsheet length scale. At any fixed moment before Page’s time the aforementioned entropy increases towards the infrared (IR) domain, whereas the presence of islands leads the running entropy to decrease towards the IR at later times. Finally, we present a four-dimensional charged black hole that asymptotes to the linear dilaton background as well. We compute the associated entanglement entropy for the extremal case and we find that an island is needed in order for it to follow the Page curve.
