This suggested a direct relation between the microstates of4D and 5D black holes, and (invoking [3]) motivated a conjecture of the formZ 5D = Z 4D = |Z top | 2, (1.1)relating a 4D BPS partition function, a 5D BPS partition function and the topologicalstring.
In March 1989 Newton was sentenced to a six-month jail term for misappropriating public funds intended for a Panther-founded Oakland school. In August of that year he was found shot dead on a street in Oakland.
As a firm opponent of the attempt by King James II to make the universities into Catholic institutions, Newton was elected Member of Parliament for the University of Cambridge to the Convention Parliament of 1689, and sat again in 1701-1702.
