dc.descriptionIn the first part of this talk, I consider some exact string solutions in curved spacetimes. In curved spacetimes with a Killing vector (timelike or spacelike), the string equations of motion and constraints are reduced to the Hamilton equations of a relativistic point-particle in a scalar potential, by imposing a particular ansatz. As special examples I consider circular strings in axially symmetric spacetimes, as well as stationary strings in stationary spacetimes. In the second part of the talk, I then consider in more detail the stationary strings in the Kerr -Newman geometry. It is shown that the world-sheet of a stationary string, that passes the static limit of the 4-D Kerr-Newman black hole, describes a 2-D black hole. Mathematical results for 2-D black holes can therefore be applied to physical objects; (say) cosmic strings in the vicinity of Kerr black holes. As an immediate general result, it follows that the string modes are thermally excited.
