Key Points

  • Black hole solutions show deformations preserving both the horizon and singularity, indicating complexity in the theory.
  • Regions exist where dual solutions present a curvature singularity, highlighting limitations in certain theory spaces.
  • By exploring alpha prime corrections, the study outlines pathways that lead to a regular cosmology without singularity.
  • Understanding these solutions may shed light on deeper structures in string theory and their cosmological significance.

Abstract

Starting with the two-derivative limit of 𝐷 =2 string theory, we explore the space of 𝑇-duality invariant 𝛼′ corrections, a space that contains a point representing the fully 𝛼′-corrected classical string theory. Using a parametrization introduced by Gasperini and Veneziano we obtain black hole solutions in this theory space. We prove that the dual of a solution with a regular horizon must have a curvature singularity. We find regions in the theory space where the black hole is deformed while preserving the horizon and the singularity, and regions where no black hole appears to exist. Furthermore, we find subregions in this theory space, probably not containing string theory, in which the black hole geometry exhibits a horizon leading to an interior that, having no singularity in the metric, curvature or dilaton, is a regular cosmology.
