Black p-brane Thermodynamics without Constructing Solutions

Abstract

This paper generalizes the method used in the previous article 2512.09930 to black $p$-brane thermodynamics in arbitrary dimensions containing black holes and strings as special cases: thermodynamic quantities can be derived without constructing the corresponding black $p$-brane solutions. We further extend the discussion to black holes or $p$-branes involving a general scalar coset.
