A six-dimensional black string is considered and its Bekenstein-Hawking entropy computed. It is shown that to leading order above extremality, this entropy precisely counts the number of string states with the given energy and charges. This identification implies that Hawking decay of the near-extremal black string can be analyzed in string perturbation theory and is perturbatively unitary.

  1. A classical model for semiclassical state-counting

    hep-th 2025-01 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    A classical phase-space analogy reproduces the state-counting interpretation of type II entropy differences and shows how the symplectomorphism restriction emerges from quantum mechanics in the classical limit.
