Bekenstein-Spectrum, Hawking-Temperature and Specific Heat of Schwarzschild Black Holes from Microscopic Chains

Abstract

We study the thermodynamic consequences of a recently proposed description for a Schwarzschild black hole based on Euclidean (D3,D3)+(\bar{D3},\bar{D3}) brane pairs described in terms of chain-like excitations. A discrete mass-spectrum of Bekenstein-type is inferred and upon identification of the black hole mass with the chain's energy the leading corrections to both Hawking-temperature and specific heat of the black hole are obtained. The results indicate that for small black holes the evaporation process will be considerably altered.
