Abstract:
It has recently been shown that for certain classical pp-branes, where the dilaton is regular on the horizon, the entropy and temperature satisfy the ideal-gas relation ST pS\sim T~{p} in the near-extremal regime. We argue that by taking string and worldsheet loop corrections into account, the validity of this entropy/temperature relation may be extended to include those cases where the dilaton classically diverges on the horizon, thereby opening up the possibility of giving a microscopic interpretation of the entropy for all near-extremal pp-branes.
