Microscopic entropy of the most general BPS black hole for type II/M-theory on torii

In the present dissertation we review the statistical computation of the entropy for the most general static BPS black hole solution in the framework of toroidally compactified type II/M-theory. This achievement is inscribed within a research project aimed to the study of the microscopic properties of this kind of solutions in relation to U-duality invariants (e.g. the entropy) computed on the corresponding macroscopic (supergravity) description.
