Black hole uniqueness is known to fail in higher dimensions, and the multiplicity of black hole phases leads to phase transitions physics in General Relativity. The black-hole black-string transition is a prime realization of such a system…
We compute leading order corrections to the entropy of any thermodynamic system due to small statistical fluctuations around equilibrium. When applied to black holes, these corrections are shown to be of the form $-k\ln(Area)$. For BTZ…

We review recent results on near-horizon static black hole solutions and entropy in R^2-corrected N=2 SUGRA in D=5, focusing on actions connected to heterotic string compactified on K3\times S^1. Comparison with \alpha'-perturbative…
It is well known that non-perturbative $\alpha'$ corrections to the $SL(2,\IR)/U(1)$ cigar geometry are described via a condensation of a Sine-Liouville operator that schematically can be written as $W^{+}+W^{-}$, where $W^{\pm}$ describe a…
We construct an effective four dimensional string-corrected black hole (4D SCBH) by rescaling the string coupling parameter in a $D$-dimensional Callan-Myers-Perry black hole. From the theoretical point of view, the most interesting…
We compute the first-order $\alpha'$-corrections to a general family of supersymmetric heterotic backgrounds which describes a rotating superposition of a fundamental string and a momentum wave. We focus on a particular solution within this…
Solutions to low energy string theory describing black holes and black strings are reviewed. Many of these solutions can be obtained by applying simple solution generating transformations to the Schwarzschild metric. In a few cases, the…

Some of the extremal black hole solutions in string theory have the same quantum numbers as the Bogomol'nyi saturated elementary string states. We explore the possibility that these black holes can be identified to elementary string…
