Seminar on ‘Synthetic Fuzzballs: A Linear Ramp from Black Hole Normal Modes’ by Suman Das (SINP, Kolkata) – 23 Nov 2022

REPORT Seminar-Workshop: Seminar on ‘Synthetic Fuzzballs: A Linear Ramp from Black Hole Normal Modes’ by Suman Das (SINP, Kolkata) Type: Seminar-Workshop – Seminar Date: 23 Nov 2022 Time: 3:30 PM – 4:30 PM Venue: Saradananda Seminar Hall Campus: Belur Campus Department: Physics We consider a black hole with a stretched horizon as a toy model for a fuzzball microstate. The stretched horizon provides a cut-off, and therefore one can determine the normal (as opposed to quasi-normal) modes of a probe scalar in this geometry. For the BTZ Read More...
