We investigate some of the quantum gravity effects on a vacuum created pair of [Formula: see text]-brane by a nonlinear U(1) gauge theory on a D4-brane. In particular, we obtain a four-dimensional quantum Kerr–(Newman) black hole in an effective torsion curvature formalism sourced by a two form dynamics in the worldvolume of a D4-brane on S1. Interestingly, the event horizon is found to be independent of a nonlinear electric charge and the 4D quantum black hole is shown to describe degenerate vacua in string theory. We show that the quantum Kerr brane universe possesses its origin in a de Sitter vacuum. In a nearly S2-symmetric limit, the Kerr geometries may seen to describe a Schwarzschild and Reissner–Nordstrom quantum black holes. It is argued that a quantum Reissner–Nordstrom tunnels to a large class of degenerate Schwarzschild vacua. In a low energy limit, the nonlinear electric charge becomes significant at the expense of the degeneracies. In the limit, the quantum geometries may identify with the semiclassical black holes established in Einstein gravity. Analysis reveals that a quantum geometry on a vacuum created D3-brane universe may be described by a low energy perturbative string vacuum in presence of a nonperturbative quantum correction.
