On D-Branes and Black Holes in Four Dimensions

High Energy Physics - Theory 2011-05-05 v3

Abstract

We find extremal four dimensional black holes with finite area constructed entirely from intersecting D-branes. We argue that the microscopic degeneracy of these configurations agrees with the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy formula. The absence of solitonic objects in these configurations may make them useful for dynamical studies of black holes.
