In this letter we consider an N-brane description of an (N + 3)-dimens
ional 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 effect
ive two-dimensional field theory of the event horizon of a black hole.
Then we consider a particle model defined on one-dimensional Euclidea
n line in a three-dimensional black hole as a target spacetime metric.
By solving the held equations we find a ''worldline instanton'' which
connects the past event horizon with the future one. This solution gi
ves us the exact value of the Hawking temperature and to leading order
the Bekenstein-Hawking formula of black hole entropy. We also show th
at this formalism is extensible to an arbitrary spacetime dimension. F
inally we make a comment of many recent works of one-loop quantum corr
ection to the black hole entropy.
