On the absorption by near-extremal black branes

We study the absorption of a minimally coupled scalar in the gravitational background created by a stack of near-extremal black three-branes, and more generally by M2-, M5- and Dp-branes. The absorption probability has the form P(l)=P0(l)fl(λ), where P0(l) is the partial wave's absorption proba...
