Microscopic entropy of the most general four-dimensional BPS black hole
Abstract
In a recent paper we have given the macroscopic and microscopic description of the generating solution of toroidally compactified string theory BPS black holes. In this note we compute its corresponding microscopic entropy. Since by definition the generating solution is the most general solution modulo U-duality transformations, this result allows for a description of the fundamental degrees of freedom accounting for the entropy of any regular BPS black holes of toroidally compactified string (or M) theory.
