Logarithmic corrections to the extremal black hole entropy can be computed purely in terms of the low energy data -- the spectrum of massless fields and their interaction. The demand of reproducing these corrections provides a strong…
Exact solutions of a massive complex scalar field equation in the geometry of a Garfinkle-Horowitz-Strominger (stringy) black hole with magnetic charge is explored. The separated radial and angular parts of the wave equation are solved…
