Thermodynamic properties of a class of black $p$-branes in $D$-dimensions considered by Duff and Lu are investigated semi-classically. For black $(d-1)$-brane, thermodynamic quantities depend on $D$ and $d$ only through the combination…

It is argued that many non-extremal black branes exhibit a classical Gregory-Laflamme instability if, and only if, they are locally thermodynamically unstable. For some black branes, the Gregory-Laflamme instability must therefore disappear…

This is a companion paper of our previous work [1] where we studied the thermodynamics and phase structure of asymptotically flat black $p$-branes in a cavity in arbitrary dimensions $D$ in a canonical ensemble. In this work we study the…

We investigate the stability of the extremal black p-brane which contains a n-form and a dilaton. We show that the instability due to the s-mode, which was present in the uncharged and non-extremal p-brane, disappears in the extreme case.…

We have investigated the classical stability of charged black $D3$-branes in type IIB supergravity under small perturbations. For s-wave perturbations it turns out that black $D3$-branes are unstable when they have small charge density. As…

We consider D-brane/anti-D-brane systems at T>0. Starting at the closed string vacuum, we argue that a finite temperature leads to the reappearance of open string degrees of freedom. We also show that, at a sufficiently large temperature,…

We consider a configuration of strings and solitons in the type IIB superstring theory on $M^5\times T^5$, which is composed of a set of arbitrarily-wound D-fivebranes on $T^5$ and a set of arbitrarily-wound D-strings on $S^1$ of the torus.…

A thermodynamic argument is presented suggesting that near-extremal spinning D1-D5-P black strings become unstable when their angular momentum exceeds $J_{crit} = {3Q_1Q_5}/2\sqrt{2}$. In contrast, the dimensionally reduced black holes are…

When the D$(p+4)$-brane ($p=0,1,2$) with delocalized D$p$ charges is put into equilibrium with a spherical thermal cavity, the two kinds of charges can be put into canonical or grand canonical ensemble independently by setting different…

A brane-antibrane model for the entropy of neutral black branes is developed, following on from the work of Danielsson, Guijosa and Kruczenski [1]. The model involves equal numbers of Dp-branes and anti-Dp-branes, and arbitrary angular…

We show that the exact entropy and the temperature (including coeffecient) of non-extremal black p-brane are calculated by maximizing the entropy under several assumptions. We argue the relation of those assumptions and certain Dp-D(p-2)…

We carry out a thorough survey of entropy for a large class of $p$-branes in various dimensions. We find that the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy may be given a simple world volume interpretation only for the non-dilatonic $p$-branes, those with…

Entropy bounds applied to a system of N species of light quantum fields in thermal equilibrium at temperature T are saturated in four dimensions at a maximal temperature T_max=M_Planck/N^1/2. We show that the correct setup for understanding…

We present a general analysis of the thermodynamics of spinning black p-branes of string and M-theory. This is carried out both for the asymptotically-flat and near-horizon case, with emphasis on the latter. In particular, we use the…

We study the fuzzy or noncommutative Dp-branes in terms of infinitely many unstable D0-branes, from which we can construct any Dp-branes. We show that the tachyon condensation of the unstable D0-branes induces the noncommutativity. In the…

We find exact finite temperature solutions to $d=5$ Einstein-dilaton gravity with black branes and a Randall--Sundrum 3-brane. We show that there exists a unique generating superpotential for these models. The location of the black brane…

We study the thermodynamic stability of charged black holes in gauged supergravity theories in D=5, D=4 and D=7. We find explicitly the location of the Hawking-Page phase transition between charged black holes and the pure anti-de Sitter…

Strominger and Vafa have used D-brane technology to identify and precisely count the degenerate quantum states responsible for the entropy of certain extremal, BPS-saturated black holes. Here we give a Type-II D-brane description of a class…

We consider slightly non-extremal black 3-branes of type IIB supergravity and show that their Bekenstein-Hawking entropy agrees, up to a mysterious factor, with an entropy derived by counting non-BPS excitations of the Dirichlet 3-brane.…

We explore superconducting instabilities of black branes in SO(6) gauged supergravity at finite temperature and finite R-charge densities. We compute the critical temperatures for homogeneous neutral and superconducting instabilities in a…
