Statistical mechanics of D0-branes and black hole thermodynamics
We consider a system of D0-branes in toroidally compactified space with interactions described by a Born-Infeld-type generalisation of the leading v + v4/rD−4 terms (D is the number of non-compact directions in M-theory, including the longitudinal one). This nonlinear action can be interpreted as an all-loop large N super Yang-Mills effective action and has a remarkable scaling property. We fir...
متن کاملStatistical Mechanics and Black Hole Thermodynamics
Black holes are thermodynamic objects, but despite recent progress, the ultimate statistical mechanical origin of black hole temperature and entropy remains mysterious. Here I summarize an approach in which the entropy is viewed as arising from “would-be pure gauge” degrees of freedom that become dynamical at the horizon. For the (2+1)-dimensional black hole, these degrees of freedom can be cou...
متن کاملThe Statistical Mechanics of Black Hole Thermodynamics *
Although we have convincing evidence that a black hole bears an entropy proportional to its surface (horizon) area, the “statistical mechanical” explanation of this entropy remains unknown. Two basic questions in this connection are: what is the microscopic origin of the entropy, and why does the law of entropy increase continue to hold when the horizon entropy is included? After a review of so...
متن کاملBlack hole entropy: statistical mechanics agrees thermodynamics
We discuss the connection between different entropies introduced for black hole. It is demonstrated on the two-dimensional example that the (quantum) thermodynamical entropy of a hole coincides (including UV-finite terms) with its statisticalmechanical entropy calculated according to ’t Hooft and regularized by Pauli-Villars.

متن کاملThe Statistical Mechanics of Horizons and Black Hole Thermodynamics
Although we know that black holes are characterized by a temperature and an entropy, we do not yet have a satisfactory microscopic " statistical mechanical " explanation for black hole thermodynamics. I describe a new approach that attributes the thermodynamic properties to " would-be gauge " degrees of freedom that become dynamical on the horizon. For the (2+1)-dimensional black hole, this app...
