The Scattering matrix approach for the quantum black hole: An Overview

G Hooft - International Journal of Modern Physics A, 1996 - World Scientific
If one assumes the validity of conventional quantum field theory in the vicinity of the horizon
of a black hole, one does not find a quantum-mechanical description of the entire black hole …

Naturalness, chiral symmetry, and spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking

G Hooft - Recent developments in gauge theories, 1980 - Springer
A properly called “naturalness” is imposed on gauge theories. It is an order-of-magnitude
restriction that must hold at all energy scales μ. To construct models with complete naturalness …

Erratum: Computation of the quantum effects due to a four-dimensional pseudoparticle

G Hooft - Instantons In Gauge Theories, 1994 - World Scientific
In the transition towards collective coordinates, page 3442, we inserted a factor $1/\sqrt{\pi}$
[Eq. (9.4)] for each collective coordinate because these have to be normalized with a …

Graviton dominance in ultra-high-energy scattering

G Hooft - Physics Letters B, 1987 - Elsevier
The scattering process of two pointlike particles at CM energies in the order of Planck units
or beyond, is very well calculable using known laws of physics, because graviton exchange …

Black hole evaporation without information loss

CR Stephens, G Hooft, BF Whiting - Classical and Quantum …, 1994 - iopscience.iop.org
An approach to black hole quantization is proposed wherein it is assumed that quantum
coherence is preserved. After giving our motivations for such a quantization procedure we …

Quantization of point particles in (2+ 1)-dimensional gravity and spacetime discreteness

G Hooft - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 1996 - iopscience.iop.org
By investigating the canonical commutation rules for gravitating quantized particles in a (2+
1)-dimensional world, it is found that these particles live on a spacetime lattice. The …

A theory of scalar mesons

G Hooft, G Isidori, L Maiani, AD Polosa… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2008 - arxiv.org
We discuss the effect of the instanton induced, six-fermion effective Lagrangian on the decays
of the lightest scalar mesons in the diquark--antidiquark picture. This addition allows for a …

Prediction for neutrino-electron cross-sections in Weinberg's model of weak interactions

G Hooft - Physics Letters B, 1971 - Elsevier
Weinberg's theory of purely leptonic weak interactions can be tested in neutrino-electron
scattering experiments. Cross-sections must be measured as a function of the energy of the …

The gravitation effect of colliding planar shells of matter

T Dray, G Hooft - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 1986 - iopscience.iop.org
Using methods similar to those in a previous paper,(Dray and't Hooft 1985), the authors
construct exact solutions to Einstein's equation containing two colliding planar shells of matter …
