Probing Five-Dimensional Black Holes with D-Branes

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

We consider a one-brane probe in the presence of a five-dimensional black hole in the classical limit. The velocity-dependent force on a slowly-moving probe is characterized by a metric on the probe moduli space. This metric is computed for large black holes using low-energy supergravity, and for small black holes using D-brane gauge theory. The results are compared.
