“…This observation was made more precise in [13] (along with interesting generalizations to AdS n )with the introduction of a certain scaling limit (see also [19,27,25]). In this limit, on the supergravity side, only the near-horizon theory of strings on AdS 3 remains, while on the D-brane side one has only the conformal field theory limit of the D-brane gauge theory.…”

Black holes whose near-horizon geometries are locally, but not necessarily globally, AdS 3 (three-dimensional anti-de Sitter space) are considered. Using the fact that quantum gravity on AdS 3 is a conformal field theory, we microscopically compute the black hole entropy from the asymptotic growth of states. Precise numerical agreement with the Bekenstein-Hawking area formula for the entropy is found. The result pertains to any consistent quantum theory of gravity, and does not use string theory or supersymmetry.

“…Using the explicit form of G A in (35), one can see that the points τ = τ A are singular, unless some of them are zero, in which case the singularity can be avoided by imposing further conditions on the parameters. Other special points are τ → ±∞ (we assume the τ -coordinate to vary on the full real axis, and possibly to extend to the complex plane to ensure the change of signs of the exponential terms like e 2B , see for details Ref.…”

Intersecting nonextremep-branes and linear dilaton background

We construct the general static solution to the supergravity action containing gravity, the dilaton and a set of antisymmetric forms describing the intersecting branes delocalized in the relative transverse dimensions. The solution is obtained by reducing the system to a set of separate Liouville equations (the intersection rules implying the separability); it contains the maximal number of free parameters corresponding to the rank of the differential equations. Imposing the requirement of the absence of naked singularities, we show that the general configurations are restricted to two and only two classes: the usual asymptotically flat intersecting branes, and the intersecting branes some of which are asymptotically flat and some approach the linear dilaton background at infinity. In both cases the configurations are black. These are supposed to be relevant for the description of the thermal phase of the QFT's in the corresponding Domain-Wall/QFT duality.
