We construct the non-extreme solutions of non-orthogonal intersecting D-branes. The solutions reduce to non-extreme black holes upon the toroidal compactification. We clarify the relation between two configurations with equal mass and…
We describe black holes in d+3 dimensions, whose thermodynamic properties correspond to those of a scale invariant non-relativistic d+1 dimensional quantum system with dynamical exponent z=2. The gravitational model involves a massive…
We examine four dimensional magnetically charged extremal black holes in certain non-linear U(1) gauge theories coupled to two derivative gravity. For a given coupling, one can tune the magnetic charge (or vice versa) so that the curvature…
A new class of black hole solutions of the five dimensional minimal gauged supergravity is presented. They are characterized by the mass, the electric charge, two equal magnitude angular momenta and the magnitude of the magnetic potential…
We compute the entropy of 5d black holes carrying up to three charges using matrix theory.
We describe rotating multicharge black holes as stacks of intersecting branes and antibranes together with massless gases on them. Assuming the energies of the gases to be equal, we find that their angular momentum parameters, corresponding…
The phase diagram for Dp-branes in M-theory compactified on $T^4$, $T^4/Z_2$, $T^5$, and $T^6$ is constructed. As for the lower-dimensional tori considered in our previous work (hep-th/9810224), the black brane phase at high entropy…
We study the dynamics of a pair of extremal (half-BPS) black holes in $\mathcal{N}=8$ supergravity, as a potentially solvable model of gravitational dynamics. As a diagnosis of hidden symmetries, we ask whether the perihelion of the orbits…
Following a recent approach, complete and analytic solutions (brane and bulk) of regular black holes are shown in a brane context. The metrics are regular both on the four-dimensional brane and in the five-dimensional bulk. Like many brane…
We discuss the ten dimensional black holes made of D0-branes in the regime where the effective coupling is large, and yet the 11D geometry is unimportant. We suggest that these black holes can be interpreted as excitations over the…
An often fruitful route to study quantum gravity is the determination and study of quantum mechanical models--that is, models with finite degrees of freedom--that capture the dynamics of a black hole's microstates. An example of such a…
We show that in presence of a cosmological constant or, more generally, of a scalar potential, there can exist actually more possibilities for the horizon geometry of a four-dimensional black hole than the hitherto known spherical,…
We derive specific properties of electromagnetism when gravitational effects are not negligible and analyze their impact on new physics at the horizons of black holes. We show that a neutral configuration of charges in a region of high…
The concept of infinite statistics is applied to the analysis of black hole thermodynamics in Matrix Theory. It is argued that Matrix Theory partons, D0-branes, satisfy quantum infinite statistics, and that this observation justifies the…
In these lectures we introduce some of the principles and techniques that are relevant for the determination of the entropy of extremal black holes by either string theory or supergravity. We consider such black holes with N=2 and N=4…
We discuss some of the basic features of extremal black holes in four-dimensional extended supergravities. Firstly, all regular solutions display an attractor behavior for the scalar field evolution towards the black hole horizon. Secondly,…
We present a crude Matrix Theory model for Schwarzchild black holes in uncompactified dimension greater than $5$. The model accounts for the size, entropy, and long range state interactions of black holes. The key feature of the model is a…
A five dimensional rotating black string in a Randall-Sundrum brane world is considered. The black string intercepts the three brane in a four dimensional rotating black hole. The geodesic equations and the asymptotics in this background…
Understanding how the thermodynamic properties of a black hole are modified when probed by D-branes is an important problem in AdS/CFT. This work focuses on a recently proposed black hole/D3-brane system in AdS$_5\times$S$^5$, which is dual…
Black hole entropy is studied for an exactly solvable model of two-dimensional gravity\cite{rst1}, using recently developed Noether charge techniques\cite{wald1}. This latter approach is extended to accomodate the non-local form of the…
