We show that the D-brane configurations for the five and four-dimensional black holes give the geometry of two and three-dimensional ones as well. The emergence of these lower dimensional black holes from the D-brane configurations for those of higher dimensions comes from the choice of the integration constant of harmonic functions, which decides the asymptotic behavior of the metric and other fields. We show that they are equivalent, which are connected by U-dual transformations. This means that stringy black holes in various dimensions are effectively in the same universality class and many properties of black holes in the same class can be infered from the study of those of the three-dimensional black holes.

    Gauge theory correlators in 3+1D N=4 SYM with large N are obtained from the supergravity action on the AdS boundary, with anomalous dimensions for massive string modes growing as 2(n g_YM sqrt(2N))^{1/2} at strong 't ...
