TLDR
The Bekenstein-Hawking area-entropy relation for extremal black holes in string theory was derived in this paper by counting the degeneracy of BPS soliton bound states.Abstract:
The Bekenstein-Hawking area-entropy relation $S_{BH}=A/4$ is derived for a class of five-dimensional extremal black holes in string theory by counting the degeneracy of BPS soliton bound states.read more

Large N Field Theories, String Theory and Gravity
TL;DR: In this paper, the holographic correspondence between field theories and string/M theory is discussed, focusing on the relation between compactifications of string theory on anti-de Sitter spaces and conformal field theories.

Holographic Derivation of Entanglement Entropy from the anti de Sitter Space/Conformal Field Theory Correspondence
Shinsei Ryu,Tadashi Takayanagi +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the entanglement entropy in d + 1 dimensional conformal field theories can be obtained from the area of d dimensional minimal surfaces in AdS(d+2), analogous to the Bekenstein-Hawking formula for black hole entropy.

Anti-de Sitter Space, Thermal Phase Transition, And Confinement in Gauge Theories
TL;DR: The correspondence between supergravity and string theory on AdS space and boundary conformal eld theory relates the thermodynamics of N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions to the thermodynamic properties of Schwarzschild black holes in Anti-de Sitter space as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Holographic principle
TL;DR: The holographic principle as mentioned in this paper asserts that the fundamental degrees of freedom involved in a unified description of spacetime and matter must be manifest in an underlying quantum theory of gravity, and it has yet to be explained.

The dS/CFT correspondence
TL;DR: In this article, a holographic duality is proposed relating quantum gravity on dSD (D-dimensional de Sitter space) to conformal field theory on a single SD−1 ((D-1)-sphere), in which bulk de Sitters correlators with points on the boundary are related to CFT correlators on the sphere, and points on + (the future boundary of dSD) are mapped to the antipodal points on SD− 1 relative to those on − for the case of dS3, which is analyzed in some detail, the central charge of

Black holes and entropy
TL;DR: In this paper, the concept of black-hole entropy was introduced as a measure of information about a black hole interior which is inaccessible to an exterior observer, and it was shown that the entropy is equal to the ratio of the black hole area to the square of the Planck length times a dimensionless constant of order unity.

The four laws of black hole mechanics
TL;DR: This article derived expressions for the mass of a stationary axisymmetric solution of the Einstein equations containing a black hole surrounded by matter and for the difference in mass between two neighboring such solutions.
Black Hole Explosions
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that any black hole will create and emit particles such as neutrinos or photons at just the rate that one would expect if the black hole was a body with a temperature of (κ/2π) (ħ/2k) ≈ 10−6 (M/M)K where κ is the surface gravity of the body.

Generalized second law of thermodynamics in black-hole physics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors established the validity of the generalized second law for the infall of an entropy-bearing system into a much larger and more massive generic stationary black hole and determined a general lower bound for the increase in black-hole entropy and an upper bound for entropy of the system.

Operator Content of Two-Dimensional Conformally Invariant Theories
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown how conformal invariance relates many numerically accessible properties of the transfer matrix of a critical system in a finite-width infinitely long strip to bulk universal quantities.
