The Bekenstein-Hawking Entropy of Higher-Dimensional Rotating Black Holes
نویسنده
چکیده
A black hole can be regarded as a thermodynamic system described by a grand canonical ensemble. In this paper, we study the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of higherdimensional rotating black holes using the Euclidean path-integral method of Gibbons and Hawking. We give a general proof demonstrating that ignoring quantum corrections, the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is equal to one-fourth of its horizon area for general higher-dimensional rotating black holes.

Statistical 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 کاملExtremal Black Hole/CFT Correspondence in (Gauged) Supergravities
We extend the investigation of the recently proposed Kerr/CFT correspondence to large classes of rotating black hole solutions in gauged and ungauged supergravities. The correspondence, proposed originally for four-dimensional Kerr black holes, asserts that the quantum states in the near-horizon region of an extremal rotating black hole are holographically dual to a two-dimensional chiral theor...
متن کاملMicroscopic derivation of the Bekenstein–Hawking entropy formula for non-extremal black holes
We derive the Bekenstein–Hawking entropy formula for fourand five-dimensional nonsupersymmetric black holes (which include the Schwarzchild ones) by counting microscopic states. This is achieved by first showing that these black holes are U-dual to the three-dimensional black hole of Banados–Teitelboim–Zanelli and then counting microscopic states of the latter following Carlip’s approach. Black...
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...
متن کاملMicroscopic Origin of the Bekenstein-Hawking Entropy
The Bekenstein-Hawking area-entropy relation SBH = A/4 is derived for a class of five-dimensional extremal black holes in string theory by counting the degeneracy of BPS soliton bound states.
