    • Black hole deconstruction 

      Denef, Frederik; Gaiotto, Davide; Strominger, Andrew E.; Bleeken, Dieter; Yin, Xi (Springer-Verlag, 2012)
      A D4-D0 black hole can be deconstructed into a bound state of D0 branes with a D6-D6 pair containing worldvolume fluxes. The exact spacetime solution is known and resembles a D0 accretion disk surrounding a D6-D6 core. We ...
    • Black holes as incompressible fluids on the sphere 

      Bredberg, Irene; Strominger, Andrew E. (Springer-Verlag, 2012)
      We consider finite deformations of the p + 2-dimensional Schwarzschild geometry which obey the vacuum Einstein equation, preserve the mean curvature and induced conformal metric on a sphere a distance λ from the horizon ...
    • Chiral Liouville Gravity 

      Compère, Geoffrey; Song, Wei; Strominger, Andrew E. (Springer Science + Business Media, 2013)
      Classical two-dimensional Liouville gravity is often considered in conformal gauge which has a residual left and right Virasoro symmetry algebra. We consider an alternate, chiral, gauge which has a residual right Virasoro ...
    • New Boundary Conditions for \(AdS_3\) 

      Compère, Geoffrey; Song, Wei; Strominger, Andrew E. (Springer Science + Business Media, 2013)
      New chiral boundary conditions are found for quantum gravity with matter on \(AdS_3\). The associated asymptotic symmetry group is generated by a single right-moving U(1) Kac-Moody-Virasoro algebra with \(c_R=\frac{3ℓ}{2G}\). ...
