Some Speculations about Black Hole Entropy in String Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
The classical Bekenstein entropy of a black hole is argued to arise from configurations of strings with ends which are frozen on the horizon. Quantum corrections to this entropy are probably finite unlike the case in quantum field theory. Finally it is speculated that all black holes are single string states. The level density of strings is of the right order of magnitude to reproduce the Bekenstein entropy.

Landau-Siegel Zeroes and Black Hole Entropy
In [1] some connections were made between string theoretic models of black holes and certain issues in arithmetic. One of the more speculative suggestions in [1] was a proposal that the entropy of BPS black holes is related to an arithmetic height of certain arithmetic varieties. In the present note we remark on some connections between these speculations and some issues related to the Riemann ...
متن کاملD-brane configuration and black hole thermodynamics
We consider a configuration of strings and solitons in the type IIB superstring theory on M5 × T 5, which is composed of a set of arbitrarily-wound D-fivebranes on T 5 and a set of arbitrarily-wound D-strings on S1 of the torus. For the configuration, it is shown that number of microscopic states is upper-bounded by the exponential of Hawking-Bekenstein entropy of the corresponding black hole a...
متن کاملQcd and String Theory
This talk begins with some history and basic facts about string theory and its connections with strong interactions. Comparisons of stacks of Dirichlet branes with curved backgrounds produced by them are used to motivate the AdS/CFT correspondence between superconformal gauge theory and string theory on a product of Anti-de Sitter space and a compact manifold. The ensuing duality between semi-c...
متن کاملA String Model of Black Hole Microstates
The statistical mechanics of black holes arbitrarily far from extremality is modeled by a gas of weakly interacting strings. As an effective low energy description of black holes the model provides a number of highly non-trivial consistency checks and predictions. Speculations on a fundamental origin of the model suggest surprising simplifications in non-perturbative string theory, even in the ...
متن کاملThe Bekenstein Formula and String Theory ( N - brane Theory )
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 a...
