摘要
We treat the horizons of charged, dilaton black extended objects as quantum-mechanical objects. We show that the S-matrix for such an object can be written in terms of a p-brane-like action. The requirements of unitarity of the S-matrix and positivity of the p-brane tension equivalent severely restrict the number of space-time dimensions and the allowed values of the dilaton parameter a. Generally, black objects transform at the extremal limit into p-branes.
