It is known that weak coupling calculations of absorption or emission by slightly non-extremal D-brane configurations are in exact agreement with semiclassical results for the black holes they describe at strong couplings. We investigate one open string loop corrections to processes involving single and parallel D-branes and show that a class of relevant terms vanish, indicating that these processes are not renormalized. Our results have implications for five dimensional black holes and extremal 3-branes.

    hep-th 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0

    For a non-BPS four-charge D-brane system in N=8 string theory, the worldline potential has no classical zero-energy minimum, so extremality is unattainable; entropy is proposed as the logarithm of the number of isolat...

    Microscopic D-brane description of non-supersymmetric extremal black holes yields a unique ground state with non-zero energy, confirming absence of degeneracy.
