The Bekenstein Formula and String Theory (N-brane Theory)
Abstract
A review of recent progress in string theory concerning the Bekenstein formula for black hole entropy is given. Topics discussed include p-branes, D-branes and supersymmetry; the correspondence principle; the D- and M-brane approach to black hole entropy; the D-brane analogue of Hawking radiation, and information loss; D-branes as probes of black holes; and the Matrix theory approach to charged and neutral black holes. Some introductory material is included. (Submitted as a topical review to ``Classical and Quantum Gravity''.)Keywords
