We construct the general electrically charged, rotating black hole solution in the heterotic string theory compactified on a six dimensional torus and study its classical properties. This black hole is characterized by its mass, angular momentum, and a 28 dimensional electric charge vector. We recover the axion-dilaton black holes and Kaluza-Klein black holes for special values of the charge ve...

We derive an exact expression for the partition function of the Euclidean BTZ black hole. Using this, we show that for a black hole with large horizon area, the correction to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is −3/2 log(area), in agreement with that for the Schwarzschild black hole obtained in the four dimensional canonical gravity formalism and also in a Lorentzian computation of BTZ black hole ...

In this article we consider an N-brane description of an (N+3)-dimensional black hole horizon. First of all, we start by reviewing a previous work where a string theory is used as describing the dynamics of the event horizon of a four dimensional black hole. Then we consider a particle model defined on one dimensional Euclidean line in a three dimensional black hole as a target spacetime metric...

A black hole solution in a teleparallel theory of (2+1)-dimensional gravity, given in a previous paper, is examined. This solution is also a solution of the three-dimensional vacuum Einstein equation with a vanishing cosmological constant. Remarkable is the fact that this solution gives a black hole in a “flat-land” in the Einstein theory and a Newtonian limit. Coordinate transformations to “Mi...
