M(atrix) Black Holes in Five Dimensions

Abstract

We examine five dimensional extreme black holes with three charges in the matrix model. We build configurations of the 5+1 super Yang-Mills theory which correspond to black holes with transverse momentum charge. We calculate their mass and entropy from the super Yang-Mills theory and find that they match the semi-classical black hole results. We extend our results to nonextreme black holes in the dilute gas approximation.
