Some general relativity from string theory
This volume is a result of the study of various aspects of a low energy model of gravity dictated by string theory. Here the basics of string theory are reviewed to the extent needed to motivate the introduction of the low energy effect field theory. This theory may be interpreted as standard General Relativity extended by string theoretic corrections. These corrections are understood as effects of quantum gravity surviving in the low energy limit. Physical scales at which the model may be realistic lay between the Planck mass and, roughly, the supersymmetry breaking scale and take us to the realm of the Great Desert. In this context, some of the large scale properties are investigated. The results obtained include a construction of sufficient conditions for the vanishing of a class of stringy corrections, the Lorentz hair for black holes which appear due to stringy terms, a demonstration of the violation of the cosmic no-hair conjecture, the investigation of dilatons in an evolving universe and a construction of a uniqueness theorem for stringy black strings.
