It has been observed recently that many properties of some near extremal black holes can be described in terms of bound states of D-branes. Using a non-renormalization theorem we argue that the D-brane description is the correct quantum gravity description of the black hole at low energies. The low energy theory includes the black hole degrees of freedom that account for the entropy and describes also Hawking radiation. The description is unitary and there seems to be no information loss at low energies.

    hep-th 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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...

    hep-th 2024-11 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

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