String Theory Formulation of anti-de Sitter Black Holes

TL;DR

This paper demonstrates that five-dimensional anti-de Sitter black holes are supersymmetric solutions within type IIB string theory and connects their entropy to the BTZ black hole for statistical interpretation.

Contribution

It introduces a string theory formulation of anti-de Sitter black holes, showing their supersymmetry and linking their entropy to lower-dimensional black hole models.

Findings

Anti-de Sitter black holes are supersymmetric solutions in type IIB string theory.

The entropy's mass dependence can be statistically interpreted via the BTZ black hole.

Provides a string theory perspective on black hole thermodynamics.

Abstract

It is shown that the five-dimensional anti-de Sitter black hole is a supersymmetric solution of the low-energy field equations of type IIB string theory compactified on an Einstein space. A statistical interpretation of the mass dependence of the entropy can be obtained from considerations of the three-dimensional BTZ black hole.
