Non-Extreme Black Holes from Intersecting M-Branes

Original · EN

We investigate the possibility of extending non-extreme black hole solutions made of intersecting M-branes to those with two non-extreme deformation parameters, similar to Reissner-Nordstrøm solutions. General analysis of possible solutions is carried out to reduce the problem of solving field equations to a simple algebraic one for static spherically-symmetric case in D dimensions. The results are used to show that the extension to two-parameter solutions is possible for D=4,5 dimensions but not for higher dimensions, and that the area of horizon always vanishes in the extreme limit for black hole solutions for D ≥ 6 except for two very special cases which are identified. Various solutions are also summarized.
