| Research Abstract |
The superstring theories have implications in the higher dimensional cosmology. In this research project we have achieved many aspects of black holes in higher dimensional spacetime, evaporation by the Hawking effect. Some of them are purely classical like topology of black hole and the others arequantum information theoretical.
Also lower dimensional conformal field theory, which is the basis of string theory, and quantum gravity has been investigated by using simulations
