论文摘要
黑洞的建模是任何重力量子理论的重要意愿。不仅要寻求经典的黑洞公制,而且还与黑洞热力学定律一致。在本文中,我们描述了如何在弦理论中获得这些目标。我们回顾黑洞的热力学,然后解释经典空间的一般弦乐推导,简单的黑洞溶液的构造以及其熵的推导。有了这一点,我们解决了一些重要的哲学和概念性问题:推导的确认价值,模型对所谓“信息悖论”的最新讨论以及模型对空间本质的含义。
The modeling of black holes is an important desideratum for any quantum theory of gravity. Not only is a classical black hole metric sought, but also agreement with the laws of black hole thermodynamics. In this paper, we describe how these goals are obtained in string theory. We review black hole thermodynamics, and then explicate the general stringy derivation of classical spacetimes, the construction of a simple black hole solution, and the derivation of its entropy. With that in hand, we address some important philosophical and conceptual questions: the confirmatory value of the derivation, the bearing of the model on recent discussions of the so-called 'information paradox', and the implications of the model for the nature of space.
