Abstract

The string-black hole correspondence is considered in the context of the correspondence principle proposed recently by Horowitz and Polchinski. We demonstrate that the entropy of string states and the entropy of a Schwarzschild black hole can be matched including the subleading terms which depend on mass logarithmically. We argue the necessity to include the string interaction (with coupling gg) in the consideration and propose the g2g^2-dependent modification of the string entropy. The matching of it with the entropy of Schwarzschild black hole is analyzed.
