Statistical entropy of near-extremal and fundamental black p-branes

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-09-17 v2

Abstract

The problem of asymptotic density of quantum states of fundamental extended objects is revised in detail. We argue that in the near-extremal regime the fundamental pp-brane approach can yield a microscopic interpretation of the black hole entropy. The asymptotic behavior of partition functions, associated with the pp-branes, and the near-extremal entropy of five-dimensional black holes are explicitly calculated.
