The Origin of Black Hole Entropy in String Theory
Get PDFI review some recent work in which the quantum states of string theory which
are associated with certain black holes have been identified and counted. For
large black holes, the number of states turns out to be precisely the
exponential of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. This provides a statistical
origin for black hole thermodynamics in the context of a potential quantum
theory of gravity.Comment: 18 pages (To appear in the proceedings of the Pacific Conference on
