Abstract

The study of wave propagation on black hole spacetimes has been an intense field of research over the last decades. This interest is driven by the stability problem for black holes and by scattering questions. In the case of Maxwell's equations and the equations of linearized gravity, it is possible to base the analysis on the study of the Teukolsky equation, which has the advantage of being scalar in nature. I will present a result providing the large time leading-order term for initially localized and regular solutions and valid for the full subextremal range of black hole parameters. I will also present some aspects of the proof which relies on spectral and microlocal methods.

      Hawking Radiation, Entanglement Entropy, and Information Paradox of Kerr Black Holes

      AbstractThe black hole microstates and the related problems such as Hawking radiation and information paradox are central problems in theoretical physics. Although there is some recent progress based on the so-called island formula, the physical meaning of islands still needs to be clarified. For rotating Kerr black holes, a near-horizon conformal symmetry can be constructed. Inspired by this r...

      Decoding stringy near-supersymmetric black holes | BIMSA-Tsinghua String Seminar

      AbstractBuilding on the recent discovery of the first candidate black hole operator in N = 4 super-Yang-Mills, we explore the near-supersymmetric aspects of the theory that capture lightly excited, highly stringy black holes. We extend the superspace formalism describing the classically supersymmetric (1/16-BPS) sector of N = 4 super-Yang-Mills and compute a large number of one-loop anomalous d...
