Schwarzschild Black Holes from Matrix Theory
Schwarzschild Black Holes from Matrix Theory
We consider matrix theory compactified on ${T}^{3}$ and show that it correctly describes the properties of Schwarzschild black holes in $7+1$ dimensions, including the mass-entropy relation, the Hawking temperature, and the physical size, up to numerical factors of order unity. The most economical description involves setting the cutoff $N$ in …
