The one-loop correction to near-extremal quantum entropy in this charged 2D black hole is exponentially suppressed at low temperature but scales as sqrt(beta) when the sl(2,R) level and SL(2,R)-U(1) coupling are tuned, providing a worldsheet realization of the black hole/string transition.

abstract
We revisit the computation of the string partition function in AdS$_3$ focussing on the appearance of spacetime (super) symmetries. We show how the asymptotic symmetries of the AdS$_3$ spacetime, which generate the boundary (super) Virasoro currents, are captured by the one-loop partition sum. We use this to argue that the recent understanding of near-extremal black hole thermodynamics based on the gravitational path integral continues to hold for finite string length. Along the way we clarify some aspects of the AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$ duality and, in particular, deduce which bulk gauge fields lead to boundary currents. We also explain how one can interpolate between supersymmetric and thermal (Atick-Witten) fermion boundary conditions in the target space by suitably tuning rotational chemical potentials in the string partition function.

Near-extremal BTZ and warped BTZ in TMG receive log-T corrections from Schwarzian and rotational zero modes whose full-geometry eigenvalues match the throat after non-normalizable eigenfunction corrections and BC specification.
Quantum analysis of AdS3 supergravity path integrals at low temperature shows near-horizon region inequivalent to BTZ and sharpens near-extremal versus near-BPS distinctions.

One-loop effect in the charged 2D black hole near extremality
The one-loop correction to near-extremal quantum entropy in this charged 2D black hole is exponentially suppressed at low temperature but scales as sqrt(beta) when the sl(2,R) level and SL(2,R)-U(1) coupling are tuned, providing a worldsheet realization of the black hole/string transition.
