Exact black five-branes in critical superstring theory

It is shown here that the tensor product of the supersymmetric version of the exact 2D black-hole solution of Witten (1991) with the super Wess-Zumino-Witten model used in Callan et al. (1991) together with free field theories gives an exact construction of some of the approximate black five-brane s...

Description
Summary:It is shown here that the tensor product of the supersymmetric version of the exact 2D black-hole solution of Witten (1991) with the super Wess-Zumino-Witten model used in Callan et al. (1991) together with free field theories gives an exact construction of some of the approximate black five-brane solutions of Horowitz and Strominger (1991). The exact solutions are labeled by one continuous and once discrete parameter and coincide in an appropriate limit with the solution in Witten. The construction provides an example of an exact conformal field theory corresponding to a solution of critical, 10D superstring theory with an event horizon. (C.D.)
