We examine the two-dimensional spacetimes that emerge from string theory. We find all of the solutions with no tachyons, and show that the only nontrivial solution is the black-hole spacetime. We examine the role of duality in this picture. We then explore the thermodynamics of these solutions which is complicated by the fact that only in two spacetime dimensions is it impossible to redefine the dilaton field in terms of a canonical scalar field. Finally, we extend our analysis to the heterotic string, and briefly comment on exact, as opposed to perturbative, solutions.

We solve the gaugino Dirac equation on a smeared intersecting five-brane solution in E8 × E8 heterotic string theory to search for localized chiral zeromodes on the intersection. The background is chosen to depend on the full two-dimensional overall transverse coordinates to the branes. Under some appropriate boundary conditions, we compute the complete spectrum of zeromodes to find that, among infinite towers of Fourier modes, there exist only three localized normalizable zeromodes, one of which has opposite chirality to the other two.

The behavior of a Dirac field in a Schwarzschild black hole spacetime is studied. In this work the Hawking temperature and the absorption cross-section for Schwarzschild black hole placed in Dirac field are calculated, taking into consideration the matter waves reflected from the event horizon. The absorption cross-section σ abs in Dirac field is found to be ⅛ of absorption cross-section in scalar field. The emission spectra of Schwarzschild black hole placed in an environment of Dirac field is also obtained.

We discuss the two-dimensional dilaton gravity with a scalar field as the source matter where the coupling with gravity is given, besides the minimal one, trough an external field. This coupling generalizes the conformal anomaly in the same way as those found in recent literature, but with a different motivation. The modification to the Hawking radiation is calculated explicitly and show an additional term that introduces a dependence on the (effective) mass of the black-hole.
