Possible Resolution of Black Hole Singularities from Large N Gauge Theory

TL;DR

This paper discusses how the conjecture linking large N gauge theories to string theory in anti-de Sitter spaces could potentially resolve black hole singularities by describing more general spacetimes.

Contribution

It proposes that the gauge theory framework can address black hole singularities by extending the correspondence beyond AdS spacetimes.

Findings

Gauge theory describes non-AdS spacetimes with black holes.

Potential resolution of black hole singularities via gauge/string duality.

Framework suggests new insights into black hole physics.

Abstract

We point out that the recent conjecture relating large N gauge theories to string theory in anti-de Sitter spaces offers a resolution in principle of many problems in black hole physics. This is because the gauge theory also describes spacetimes which are not anti-de Sitter, and include black hole horizons and curvature singularities.
