Counting the microstates of a Kerr black hole in M theory.

چکیده
We show that an extremal Kerr black hole, appropriately lifted to M theory, can be transformed to a Kaluza-Klein black hole in M theory, or a D0-D6 charged black hole in string theory. Since all the microstates of the latter have recently been identified, one can exactly reproduce the entropy of an extremal Kerr black hole. We also show that the topology of the event horizon is not well defined in M theory.

Black holes and singularities in string theory
This is a summary of a lecture I gave at the workshop on dynamics and thermodynamics of black holes and naked singularities at Politecnico Milano. It is directed to a non-expert audience and reviews several ways in which string theory accounts for black hole microstates. In particular, I give an elementary introduction to the correspondence principle by Horowitz/Polchinski, to the state countin...
متن کاملExact Counting of Black Hole Microstates
The exact entropy of two-charge supersymmetric black holes in N = 4 string theories is computed to all orders using Wald’s formula and the supersymmetric attractor equations with an effective action that includes the relevant higher curvature terms. Classically, these black holes have zero area but the attractor equations are still applicable at the quantum level. The quantum corrected macrosco...
متن کاملTHE QUANTUM PHYSICS OF BLACK HOLES: Results from String Theory
We review recent progress in our understanding of the physics of black holes. In particular, we discuss the ideas from string theory that explain the entropy of black holes from a counting of microstates of the hole, and the related derivation of unitary Hawking radiation from such holes.
متن کاملOrganizational Black Hole Theory
There are issues in organizations that require new theoretical formulation. Hence, metaphorical theorizing is used in the study of organizations to interpret them and understand their complexities. In this method, the organization is likened to an entity and one of the key features of that entity is generalized to the organization. It should be borne in mind that most organizational theories ar...
متن کاملOn central charges and the entropy in matrix theory
The Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of BPS black holes can be obtained as the minimum of the mass (= largest central charge). In this letter we investigate the analog procedure for the matrix model of M -theory. Especially we discuss the configurations: (i) 2 × 2 × 2 corresponding to the 5-d black hole and (ii) the 5 × 5 × 5 configuration yielding the 5-d string. After getting their matrix-entropy, ...
