DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/UKYhepth/14/
 ">The Return of the String</a>\nby Emil Martinec (University of Chicago) a
 s part of Theoretical Physics Seminars (Kentucky)\n\n\nAbstract\nTwo appli
 cations of worldsheet string theory illustrate the structure of string the
 ory near the threshold of black hole formation.  In the first\, we conside
 r string probes of horizonless microstate geometries and find that strong 
 tidal forces cause infalling strings to become trapped\, mimicking the abs
 orptive properties of black holes.  In the second\, we re-examine the stru
 cture of (near) BPS microstates and find a mechanism whereby the geometric
 al description breaks down.\n
