It is shown that there are static spacetimes with timelike curvature singularities which appear completely nonsingular when probed with quantum test particles. Examples include extreme dilatonic black holes and the fundamental string solution. In these spacetimes, the dynamics of quantum particles is well defined and uniquely determined.

  1. Noncommutativity and the Weak Cosmic Censorship

    hep-th 2019-08 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    Using a noncommutative duality, the authors claim that a high-energy scalar probe dresses a naked AdS3 singularity as a BTZ black hole, supporting weak cosmic censorship.

  2. Aspects of strings without spacetime supersymmetry

    hep-th 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    A survey of tachyons and tadpoles in non-supersymmetric closed and orientifold strings, including ten-dimensional models and landscape attempts.
