Statistical Entropy of Nonextremal Four-Dimensional Black Holes and U-Duality

High Energy Physics - Theory 2016-08-24 v1 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

We identify the states in string theory which are responsible for the entropy of near-extremal rotating four-dimensional black holes in N=8N=8 supergravity. For black holes far from extremality (with no rotation), the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is exactly matched by a mysterious duality invariant extension of the formulas derived for near-extremal black holes states.
