Counting $$\mathcal{N}$$ = 8 black holes as algebraic varieties
Counting $$\mathcal{N}$$ = 8 black holes as algebraic varieties
A bstract We calculate the helicity trace index B 14 for $$\mathcal{N}$$ = 8 pure D-brane black holes using various techniques of computational algebraic geometry and find perfect agreement with the existing results in the literature. For these black holes, microstate counting is equivalent to finding the number of supersymmetric …
