A black hole can be regarded as a thermodynamic system described by a grandcanonical ensemble. In this paper, we study the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy ofhigher-dimensional rotating black holes using the Euclidean path-integralmethod of Gibbons and Hawking. We give a general proof demonstrating thatignoring quantum corrections, the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is equal toone-fourth of its horizon area for general higher-dimensional rotating blackholes.Comment: 9 pages, Latex, v2: arxiv-id for the references supplemented, v3: accepted for publication by Progress of Theoretical Physic
