The correspondence principle offers a unique opportunity to test the Horowitz and Maldacena mechanism at the correspondence point “the centre of mass energies around (Ms/(gs)2)”. First by using the Horowitz and Maldacena proposal, the black hole final state for closed strings is studied and the entropy of these states is calculated. Then, to consider the closed string states, a copy of the original Hilbert space is constructed with a set of creation–annihilation operators that have the same commutation properties as the original ones. The total Hilbert space is the tensor product of the two spaces Hright ⊗ Hleft, where in this case Hleft/right denote the physical quantum state space of the closed string. It is shown that closed string states can be represented by a maximally entangled two-mode squeezed state of the left and right spaces of closed string. Also, the entropy for these string states is calculated. It is found that black hole entropy matches the closed string entropy at transition point. This means that our result is consistent with correspondence principle and thus HM mechanism in string theory works. Consequently the unitarity of the black hole in string theory can be reconciled. However Gottesman and Preskill point out that, in this scenario, departures from unitarity can arise due to interactions between the collapsing body and the infalling Hawking radiation inside the event horizon and information can be lost. By extending the Gottesman and Preskill method to string theory, the amount of information transformation from the matter to the state of outgoing Hagedorn radiation for closed strings is obtained. It is observed that information is lost for closed strings.

Ramanujan influenced many areas of mathematics, but his work on q -series, on the growth of coefficients of modular forms and on mock modular forms stands out for its depth and breadth of applications. I will give a brief overview of how this part of Ramanujan's work has influenced physics with an emphasis on applications to string theory, counting of black hole states and moonshine. This paper contains the material from my presentation at the meeting celebrating the centenary of Ramanujan's election as FRS and adds some additional material on black hole entropy and the AdS/CFT correspondence. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue ‘Srinivasa Ramanujan: in celebration of the centenary of his election as FRS’.

In this talk I summarize some recent progress in string theory in understanding the entropy of a class of black holes including corrections to the Bekenstein–Hawking formula. The quantum corrected entropy is in precise numerical agreement with the logarithm of the number of microstates once quantum corrections are correctly taken into account.

In this review we try to give a pedagogical introduction to the recent progress in the resolution of old problems of black hole thermodynamics within superstring theory. We start with a brief description of classical black hole dynamics. Then, follow with the consideration of general properties of supersymmetric black holes. We conclude with the review of the statistical explanation of the black hole entropy and string theory description of the black hole evaporation.

Abstract It has been shown that the entropy function formalism is an efficient way to calculate the entropy of black holes in string theory. We check this formalism for the extremal charged dilaton black hole. We find the general four-derivative correction on the black hole entropy from the value of the entropy function at its extremum point.
