abstract

For most black holes in string theory, the Schwarzschild radius in string units decreases as the string coupling is reduced. We formulate a correspondence principle, which states that (i) when the size of the horizon drops below the size of a string, the typical black hole state becomes a typical state of strings and D-branes with the same charges, and (ii) the mass does not change abruptly during the transition. This provides a statistical interpretation of black hole entropy. This approach does not yield the numerical coefficient, but gives the correct dependence on mass and charge in a wide range of cases, including neutral black holes.

Precision asymptotics of string amplitudes

hep-th · 2026-01-14 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

An infinite family of complex saddles plus a bootstrap on multiplicities yields a precise high-energy asymptotic expansion for one-loop string amplitudes with oscillatory terms.

The Equivalence Principle at High Energies Completes the Spectrum

hep-th · 2026-05-19 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Tree-level gravitational scattering under the equivalence principle mandates single-particle states in all irreducible representations constructible from a single seed charge, with equal interaction strengths.

Superball of Strings

hep-th · 2026-01-14 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

A random-walk-sized fuzzball of BPS superstrings in supergravity is proposed to describe generic BPS microstates instead of a singular black hole.

From Horowitz -- Polchinski to Thirring and Back

hep-th · 2025-09-03 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0
