D-brane Approach to Black Hole Quantum Mechanics | | Curtis G. Callan

9 Feb 1996 | | Journal: | Nucl.Phys. B472 (1996) 591-610 | | Subject: | hep-th | | Abstract: | Strominger and Vafa have used D-brane technology to identify and precisely count the degenerate quantum states responsible for the entropy of certain extremal, BPS-saturated black holes. Here we give a Type-II D-brane description of a class of extremal {it and} non-extremal five-dimensional Reissner-Nordström solutions and identify a corresponding set of degenerate D-brane configurations. We use this information to do a string theory calculation of the entropy, radiation rate and ``Hawking’’ temperature. The results agree perfectly with standard Hawking results for the corresponding nearly extremal Reissner-Nordström black holes. Although these calculations suffer from open-string strong coupling problems, we give some reasons to believe that they are nonetheless qualitatively reliable. In this optimistic scenario there would be no ``information loss’’ in black hole quantum evolution. | | Source: | arXiv, hep-th/9602043 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
