Branes at Angles and Black Holes

چکیده
We construct the most general supersymmetric configuration of D2-branes and D6-branes on a 6-torus. It contains arbitrary numbers of branes at relative U(3) angles. The corresponding supergravity solutions are constructed and expressed in a remarkably simple form, using the complex geometry of the compact space. The spacetime supersymmetry of the configuration is verified explicitly, by solution of the Killing spinor equations, and the equations of motion are verified too. Our configurations can be interpreted as a 16-parameter family of regular extremal black holes in four dimensions. Their entropy is interpreted microscopically by counting the degeneracy of bound states of Dbranes. Our result agrees in detail with the prediction for the degeneracy of BPS states in terms of the quartic invariant of the E(7,7) duality group. [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]

How to Count the States of Extremal Black Holes
N = 8 supergravity has a rich spectrum of black holes charged under the 56 U(1) gauge fields of the theory. Duality predicts that the entropy of these black holes is related to the quartic invariant of the E(7, 7) group. We verify this prediction in detail by constructing black holes that correspond to supersymmetric bound states of 2-branes at angles and 6branes. The general bound state contai...
متن کاملNon-Extreme Black Holes from D-branes at Angles
We construct the non-extreme solutions of non-orthogonal intersecting Dbranes. The solutions reduce to non-extreme black holes upon the toroidal compactification. We clarify the relation between two configurations with equal mass and charge, one of which is non-orthogonal intersecting Dbranes and the other one is orthogonal D-branes, from supergravity and string theory perspective. We also calc...
متن کاملConstituent Model of Extremal non-BPS Black Holes
We interpret extremal non-BPS black holes in four dimensions as threshold bound states of four 1/2-BPS constituents. We verify the no-force condition for each of the primitive constituents in the probe approximation. Our computations are for a seed solution with D0 − D4 charges and equal B-fields, but symmetries extend the result to any U-dual frame. We make the constituent model for the D0−D6 ...

متن کاملDAMTP-R/97/15, UPR-741-T, hep-th/9703204 Non-threshold D-brane bound states and black holes with non-zero entropy
We start with BPS-saturated configurations of two (orthogonally) intersecting M-branes and use the electro-magnetic duality or dimensional reduction along a boost, in order to obtain new p-brane bound states. In the first case the resulting configurations are interpreted as BPS-saturated non-threshold bound states of intersecting p-branes, and in the second case as p-branes intersecting at angl...
