Two Centered Black Holes and N=4 Dyon Spectrum

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-04-17 v3

Abstract

The exact spectrum of dyons in a class of N=4 supersymmetric string theories is known to change discontinuously across walls of marginal stability. We show that the change in the degeneracy across the walls of marginal stability can be accounted for precisely by the entropy of two centered small black holes which disappear as we cross the walls of marginal stability.
