X Abstract

Extremal black holes in M-theory compactification on $M× S^1$ are microscopically represented by fivebranes wrapping $P× S^1$, where $M$ is a Calabi-Yau threefold and $P$ is a four-cycle in $M$. Additional spacetime charges arise from momentum around the $S^1$ and expectation values for the self-dual three-form field strength in the fivebrane. The microscopic entropy of the fivebrane as a function of all the charges is determined from a two-dimensional $(0,4)$ sigma model whose target space includes the fivebrane moduli space. This entropy is compared to the macroscopic formula. Precise agreement is found for both the tree-level and one-loop expressions.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
