Abstract

Five-dimensional black holes in type IIB string theory are discussed from various points of view: classical supergravity solutions, D-branes and Yang-Mills theories, effective conformal field theories, sigma-models on symmetric products, matrix string theory, near-horizon geometries, anti-de-Sitter gravity, and holography. This provides an overview of the modern set of techniques in string theory to address the issues in quantum black holes physics.
