Microscopic Entropy of the Black Ring

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-09-17 v2

Abstract

A surprising new seven-parameter supersymmetric black ring solution of five-dimensional supergravity has recently been discovered. In this paper, M-theory is used to give an exact microscopic accounting of its entropy.
