Entropy of Three-Dimensional Black Holes in String Theory

چکیده
It is observed that the three-dimensional BTZ black hole is a supersymmetric solution of the low-energy field equations of heterotic string theory compactified on an Einstein space. The solution involves a non-zero dilaton and NS-NS H-field. The entropy of the extreme black hole can then be computed using string theory and the asymptotic properties of anti-de Sitter space, without recourse to a D-brane analysis. This provides an explicit example of a black hole whose entropy can be computed using fundamental string theory, as advocated by Susskind.

متن کاملMicrostates of Four-Dimensional Rotating Black Holes from Near-Horizon Geometry
We show that a class of four-dimensional rotating black holes allow fivedimensional embeddings as black rotating strings. Their near-horizon geometry factorizes locally as a product of the three-dimensional anti-deSitter spacetime and a two-dimensional sphere (AdS3 × S2), with angular momentum encoded in the global space-time structure. Following the observation that the isometries on the AdS3 ...
متن کاملStatistical Entropy of Nonextremal Four-Dimensional Black Holes and U-Duality.
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.
متن کاملEntropy and supersymmetry of D dimensional extremal electric black holes versus string states
Following the work of Sen, we consider the correspondence between extremal black holes and string states in the context of the entropy. We obtain and study properties of electrically charged black hole backgrounds of tree level heterotic string theory compactified on a p dimensional torus, for D = (10− p) = 4 . . . 9. We study in particular a one–parameter extremal class of these black holes, t...
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...
