The Bekenstein Formula and String Theory ( N - brane Theory )
نویسنده
چکیده
A review of recent progress in string theory concerning the Bekenstein formula for black hole entropy is given. Topics discussed include p-branes, D-branes and supersymmetry; the correspondence principle; the Dand M-brane approach to black hole entropy; the D-brane analogue of Hawking radiation, and information loss; D-branes as probes of black holes; and the Matrix theory approach to charged and neutral black holes. Some introductory material is included. Submitted as a topical review to Classical and Quantum Gravity.

Counting Dyons in N = 4 String Theory
We present a microscopic index formula for the degeneracy of dyons in four-dimensional N = 4 string theory. This counting formula is manifestly symmetric under the duality group, and its asymptotic growth reproduces the macroscopic Bekenstein-Hawking en-tropy. We give a derivation of this result in terms of the type II ve-brane compactiied on K3, by assuming that its uctuations are described by...

This counting formula is manifestly symmetric under the duality group, and its asymptotic growth reproduces the macroscopic Bekenstein-Hawking entropy.

متن کاملBlack hole entropy from a single long string
In this article we derive the Bekenstein-Hawking formula of black hole entropy from a single long string. We consider a open string in the Rindler metric which can be obtained in the large mass limit from the Schwarzschild black hole metric. By solving the field equations we find a nontrivial solution with the exact value of the Hawking temperature. We see that this solution gives us the Bekens...
متن کاملIntersecting D-branes and black holes in type 0 string theory
We study intersecting D-branes in type 0 string theories and show that the Dp±brane bound states obey similar intersecting rules as the Dp-branes of the type II theories. The D5±-D1± brane system is studied in detail. We show that the corresponding near-horizon geometry is the AdS3 × S3 × T 4 space and that there is no tachyon instability in this background. The Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is ca...
متن کاملStatistical 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...
