In this letter we consider an N-brane description of an (N+3)-dimensional black hole horizon. First of all, we start by examining in more detail a previous work where a string theory is used in describing the dynamics of the event horizon of a four-dimensional black hole. This is an attempt to understand the black hole thermodynamics by an effective two-dimensional field theory of the event horizon of a black hole. Then we consider a particle model defined on one-dimensional Euclidean line in a three-dimensional black hole as a target spacetime metric. By solving the field equations we find a “worldline instanton” which connects the past event horizon with the future one. This solution gives us the exact value of the Hawking temperature and to leading order the Bekenstein-Hawking formula of black hole entropy. We also show that this formalism is extensible to an arbitrary spacetime dimension. Finally we make a comment of many recent works of one-loop quantum correction to the black hole entropy.

We investigate the string theory on three-dimensional black holes discovered by Bañados, Teitelboim and Zanelli in the framework of conformal field theory. The model is described by an orbifold of the [Formula: see text] WZW model. The spectrum is analyzed by solving the level matching condition and we obtain winding modes. We then study the ghost problem and show explicit examples of physical states with negative norms. We discuss the tachyon propagation and the target space geometry, which are irrelevant to the details of the spectrum. we find a self-dual T-duality transformation reversing the black hole mass. We also discuss difficulties in string theory on curved space–time and possibilities of obtaining a sensible string theory on three-dimensional black holes. This work is the first attempt to quantize a string theory in a black hole background with an infinite number of propagating modes.
