Statistical Origin of Black Hole Entropy in Matrix Theory

arXiv:hep-th/9802173 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.81.256

Abstract

The statistical entropy of black holes in M-theory is considered. Assuming Matrix theory is the discretized light-cone quantization of a theory with eleven-dimensional Lorentz invariance, we map the counting problem onto the original Gibbons-Hawking calculation of the thermodynamic entropy.
