Hawking radiation in string theory

Abstract

We review some of the progress in understanding the statistical basis of black hole thermodynamics in string theory. The emphasis is on the “derivation” of Hawking radiation from the unitary decay of near extremal D-brane states. We also review recent progress in understanding Schwarzschild black holes by relating them to D-brane black holes via “boosts” in M-theory.
