abstract

We study the order $\alpha'$ correction to the string black hole found by Garfinkle, Horowitz, and Strominger. We include all operators of dimension up to four in the Lagrangian, and use the field redefinition technique which facilitates the analysis. A mass correction, which is implied by the work of Giddings, Polchinski, and Strominger, is found for the extremal GHS black hole.

  1. Causality Constraints on Black Hole Thermodynamics in Nonlinear Electrodynamics

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Causality in nonlinear electrodynamics forces the entropy-to-mass-squared ratio of black holes to decrease with mass and the extremal mass-to-charge ratio to increase with charge.

  2. Multicenter higher-derivative BPS black holes

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Two- and three-charge BPS black holes of the torus-reduced heterotic action are rewritten in five-dimensional STU supergravity fields, and the resulting action is shown to differ from known N=2 R^2 invariants.

  4. Thermodynamics of 4D Dilatonic Black Holes and the Weak Gravity Conjecture

    hep-th 2019-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Higher-derivative corrections make extremal dilatonic black holes superextremal (charge-to-mass ratio greater than one) in all solvable cases, matching the weak gravity conjecture.

  5. Exploring String Theory Solutions: Black hole thermodynamics with $\alpha'$ corrections and type II compactifications

    hep-th 2025-05 unverdicted novelty 1.0 of 10

    A doctoral thesis restating published results on α'-corrected black holes in heterotic string theory and on type II flux compactifications, with no new standalone results.
