Black Hole Entropy, Special Geometry and Strings
We review work done over the last years on the macroscopic and microscopic entropy of supersymmetric black holes in fourdimensional N = 2 supergravity and in N = 2 compactifications of string theory and M-theory. Particular emphasis is put on the crucial role of higher curvature terms and of modifications of the area law in obtaining agreement between the macroscopic entropy, which is a geometr...
متن کاملBlack Hole Entropy and Finite Geometry
It is shown that the E6(6) symmetric entropy formula describing black holes and black strings in D = 5 is intimately tied to the geometry of the generalized quadrangle GQ(2, 4) with automorphism group the Weyl group W (E6). The 27 charges correspond to the points and the 45 terms in the entropy formula to the lines of GQ(2, 4). Different truncations with 15, 11 and 9 charges are represented by ...
متن کاملQuantum Geometry and Black Hole Entropy
A ‘black hole sector’ of non-perturbative canonical quantum gravity is introduced. The quantum black hole degrees of freedom are shown to be described by a Chern-Simons field theory on the horizon. It is shown that the entropy of a large non-rotating black hole is proportional to its horizon area. The constant of proportionality depends upon the Immirzi parameter, which fixes the spectrum of th...
متن کاملBlack Hole Entropy, Topological Entropy and Noncommutative Geometry
Foliated manifolds are particular examples of noncommutative spaces. In this article we try to give a qualitative description of the Godbillon-Vey class and its relation on the one hand to the holonomy and on the other hand to the topological entropy of a foliation, using a remarkable theorem proved recently by G. Duminy relating these three notions in the case of codim-1 foliations. Moreover w...
متن کاملBlack hole entropy and topological strings on generalized CY manifolds
The H. Ooguri, A. Strominger and C. Vafa conjecture ZBH = |Ztop| is extended for the topological strings on generalized CY manifolds. It is argued that the classical black hole entropy is given by the generalized Hitchin functional, which defines by critical points a generalized complex structure on X. This geometry differs from an ordinary geometry if b1(X) 6= 0. In a critical point the genera...
