Tachyon Condensation and Black Hole Entropy

Abstract

String propagation on a cone with deficit angle $2\pi (1-\frac{1}{N})$ is considered for the purpose of computing the entropy of a large mass black hole. The entropy computed using the recent results on condensation of twisted-sector tachyons in this theory is found to be in precise agreement with the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy.
