Macroscopic and Microscopic Entropy of Near-Extremal Spinning Black Holes

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-09-17 v1

Abstract

A seven parameter family of five-dimensional black hole solutions depending on mass, two angular momenta, three charges and the asymptotic value of a scalar field is constructed. The entropy is computed as a function of these parameters both from the Bekenstein-Hawking formula and from the degeneracies of the corresponding D-brane states in string theory. The expressions agree at and to leading order away from extremality.
