The authors model a charged, spinning particle at the Planck scale using the ultrarelativistic limit of the Kerr-Newman geometry. They obtain the corresponding gravitational shock wave background and the source of the Kerr-Newman geometry in the ultrarelativistic regime. Scalar fields are studied in the gravitational shock wave geometries and the S-matrix has poles similar to that in the Aichelburg-Sexl case. It is noted that the presence of such poles is associated with the point-like structure of the shock wave source. This result is illustrated by comparison with the scattering of ultrarelativistic extended sources (no poles in the S-matrix) and with the scattering of fundamental strings. Plackian energy string collisions in flat spacetime are modeled as the scattering of a string in the effective curved background. Effective energy density distributions generated by these collisions are found for both intermediate and large impact parameters, and the effective metric is a gravitational shock wave. The S-matrix is given, analyzed, and shown to have no poles (the source is extended). The authors also study the occurrence of string instabilities in Schwarzschild, Reissner-Nordström, and de Sitter spacetimes. They look at ``first order string fluctuations around the center of mass motion at spatial infinity, near the horizon and at the spacetime singularity. The time components are well-behaved in all spacetimes and in all cases. The radial components are unstable. In the Schwarzschild spacetime, the angular components are always well-behaved, but in the Reissner-Nordström spacetime instabilities develop near the horizon. In the de Sitter spacetime, instability occurs in all spatial components. In general, string instabilities can develop in all spacetimes. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0926.00022].
