Extremal Black Holes and Elementary String States
نویسنده
چکیده
Some of the extremal black hole solutions in string theory have the same quantum numbers as the Bogomol'nyi saturated elementary string states. We explore the possibility that these black holes can be identi ed to elementary string excitations. It is shown that stringy e ects could correct the Bekenstein-Hawking formula for the black hole entropy in such a way that it correctly reproduces the logarithm of the density of elementary string states. In particular, this entropy has the correct dependence on three independent parameters, the mass and the left-handed charge of the black hole, and the string coupling constant. hep-th/9504147 TIFR-TH-95-19 April, 1995

Entropy 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 کاملDipole Moments of Black Holes and String States
As a further test of the conjectured equivalence of string states and extremal black holes, we compute the dipole moments of black holes with arbitrary spin and superspin in D = 4, N = 4 supergravity coupled to 22 vector multiplets and compare them with the dipole moments of states in the heterotic string on T 6 or the Type IIA string on K3×T . Starting from a purely bosonic black hole with Ker...
متن کاملExtremal Branes as Elementary Particles
The supersymmetric p-branes of Type II string theory can be interpreted after compactification as extremal black holes with zero entropy and infinite temperature. We show how the p-branes avoid this apparent, catastrophic instability by developing an infinite mass gap. Equivalently, these black holes behave like elementary particles: they are dressed by effective potentials that prevent absorpt...

متن کاملCounting States of Near-Extremal Black Holes.
A six-dimensional black string is considered and its Bekenstein-Hawking entropy computed. It is shown that to leading order above extremality, this entropy precisely counts the number of string states with the given energy and charges. This identification implies that Hawking decay of the near-extremal black string can be analyzed in string perturbation theory and is perturbatively unitary.
