In Item 220 we pointed out the non-zero horizon area of extremal black holes with several charges, showed that this area is independent of various moduli (consistent with its interpretation as an entropy) and argued from duality that something very close to the Bekenstein-Hawking formula must be valid. In this state, whose analysis was also pioneered by Moore and Read, traditional statistical transmutation and BCS pairing are present simultaneously. 1 Quotes. Welcome to your new Drupal site! 348.
