## Abstract I review insights from supergravity and string theory on the macroscopic and the microscopic description of black hole entropy.
## Abstract We review the recently discovered ansatz that describes non‐extremal charged dilatonic branes of string/M‐theory with a transverse circle. The ansatz involves a new coordinate system that interpolates between the spherical and cylindrical case, and reduces the equations of motion to a s
We consider the modifications to general relativity by the non-local (classical and quantum) string effects for the case of a \(D\)-dimensional Schwarzschild black hole. The classical non-local effects do not alter the spacetime topology (the horizon remains unshifted, at least perturbatively). We s
