چکیده

We identify the states in string theory which are responsible for the entropy of nearextremal rotating four-dimensional black holes in N = 8 supergravity. For black holes far from extremality (with no rotation), the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is exactly matched by a mysterious duality invariant extension of the formulas derived for near-extremal black holes states.

Black holes admitting a Freudenthal dual

The quantised charges x of four dimensional stringy black holes may be assigned to elements of an integral Freudenthal triple system whose automorphism group is the corresponding U-duality and whose U-invariant quartic norm ∆(x) determines the lowest order entropy. Here we introduce a Freudenthal duality x→ x̃, for which ̃̃ x = −x. Although distinct from U-duality it nevertheless leaves ∆(x) inva...

Nonextremal Black Hole Microstates and U-Duality

A six-parameter family of five-dimensional black hole solutions is constructed which are labeled by their mass, two asymptotic scalar fields and three charges. It is shown that the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is exactly matched, arbitrarily far from extremality, by a simple but mysterious duality-invariant extension of previously derived formulae for the number of D-brane states in string theory.

Statistical entropy of charged two-dimensional black holes

The statistical entropy of a five-dimensional black hole in Type II string theory was recently derived by showing that it is U-dual to the three-dimensional Bañados–Teitelboim–Zanelli black hole, and using Carlip’s method to count the microstates of the latter. This is valid even for the non-extremal case, unlike the derivation which relies on D-brane techniques. In this letter, I shall exploit...

Evidence for a null entropy of extremal black holes

We present some arguments in support of a zero entropy for extremal black holes. These relay on a combination of both quantum, thermodynamic, and statistical physics arguments. This result may shed some light on the nature of these extreme objects. In addition, we show that within a quantum framework the capture of a particle by an initially extremal black hole always results with a final nonex...
