The quantum structure of black holes
arXiv:hep-th/0510180 · doi:10.1088/0264-9381/23/11/R01
Abstract
We give an elementary review of black holes in string theory. We discuss black hole entropy from string microstates and Hawking radiation from these states. We then review the structure of 2-charge microstates, and explore how `fractionation' can lead to quantum effects over macroscopic length scales of order the horizon radius.
