Monopoles and Black Hole Entropy

Abstract

We consider the entropy of a black hole which has zero area horizon. The microstates appear as monopole solutions of the effective theory on the corresponding brane configurations.The resulting entropy formula coincides with the one expected from stringy calculation and agrees with U-duality invariance of entropy.
