Abstract
We identify the states in string theory which are responsible for the
entropy of near-extremal rotating four-dimensional black holes in N =
8 supergravity. For black holes far from extremality (with no rotation
), the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is exactly matched by a mysterious d
uality invariant extension of the formulas derived for near-extremal b
lack holes states.
