For the worldline theory of an extremal black hole, extremality amounts to vanishing ground state energy. In light of recent gravity results one would expect much like the ground state degeneracy this fine tuned condition too will not be…

A two charge system in string theory preserving eight supercharges can be described as a small black hole that has zero entropy in the supergravity approximation, but classical higher derivative corrections produce a finite entropy in…

In 1994, Susskind and Uglum argued that it is possible to derive the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy $A/4G_N$ from string theory. In this article we explain the conceptual underpinnings of this argument, while elucidating its relationship to…

The microscopic origin of black hole entropy remains one of the more intriguing open questions in theoretical physics. A subplot in this drama is the renowned Cardy-Verlinde formula, which uses two-dimensional conformal formalism to explain…

We show that four-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton-Gauss-Bonnet gravity admits asymptotically flat black hole solutions with a degenerate event horizon of the Reissner-Nordstr\"om type $AdS_2\times S^2$. Such black holes exist for the…

We give an explicit form of the classical entropy for four-dimensional static near-BPS-saturated black holes of generic N=2 superstring vacua. The expression is obtained by determining the leading corrections in the non-extremality…

Recent insights from string theory and supergravity on the macroscopic and the microscopic description of black hole entropy are discussed.

The quantum corrections to the counting of statistical entropy for the 5+1-dimensional extremal black string in type-IIB supergravity with two observers are studied using anomalous Wess-Zumino actions for the corresponding intersecting…

We construct a family of multi-dyonically charged and rotating supersymmetric AdS$_2\times \Sigma$ solutions of $D=4$, $\mathcal{N}=4$ gauged supergravity, where $\Sigma$ is a sphere with two conical singularities known as a spindle. We…

We give a microscopic description of extreme and near-extreme Reissner-Nordstrom black holes in four dimensions in terms of fundamental strings in a background of magnetic five branes and monopoles. The string oscillator numbers and tension…

Motivated by string theory, we propose that non-local quantum corrections to large extremal black holes must be suppressed by local higher-derivative terms (classical corrections). We show that this condition implies the species bound in…

We consider the well-known solution of the Heterotic Superstring effective action to zeroth order in $\alpha'$ that describes the intersection of a fundamental string with momentum and a solitonic 5-brane and which gives a 3-charge, static,…

We study the BPS black hole solutions of the (truncated) action for heterotic string theory compactified on a six-torus. The O(3,Z) duality symmetry of the theory, together with the bound state interpretation of extreme black holes, is used…

It has recently been shown that the uniqueness theorem for stationary black holes cannot be extended to five dimensions. However, uniqueness is an important assumption of the string theory black hole entropy calculations. This paper…

An effective string theory in physically relevant cosmological and black hole space times is reviewed. Explicit computations of the quantum string entropy, partition function and quantum string emission by black holes (Schwarzschild,…

The large N limit of extremal non-supersymmetric Type-I five-dimensional string black holes is studied from the point of view of D-branes. We find that the agreement between the D-brane and the black-hole picture is due to an asymptotic…

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…

We use the black hole entropy function to study the effect of Born-Infeld terms on the entropy of extremal black holes in heterotic string theory in four dimensions. We find that after adding a set of higher curvature terms to the effective…

We obtain holographic constraints on the microscopic degeneracies of black holes by computing the exact macroscopic quantum entropy using localization, including the effects of string worldsheet instantons in the supergravity effective…

We show that the entropy of extremal $D=4$ Reissner--Nordstrom black holes can be computed from horizon CFTs with central charges and conformal weights fixed by the dimensionless Rindler energy. This is possible in the simultaneous extremal…
