String theory in a pinch: resolving the Gregory-Laflamme singularity

Abstract Thin enough black strings are unstable to growing ripples along their length, eventually pinching and forming a naked singularity on the horizon. We investigate how string theory can resolve this singularity. First, we study the string-scale version of the static non-uniform black strings t...
