The classical Bekenstein entropy of a black hole is argued to arise from configurations of strings with ends which are frozen on the horizon. Quantum corrections to this entropy are probably finite unlike the case in quantum field theory. Finally it is speculated that all black holes are single string states. The level density of strings is of the right order of magnitude to reproduce the Bekenstein entropy.

  1. Hadrons in $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric QCD from non-Abelian string on 2D black hole

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    The hadron spectrum in N=2 SQCD with N_f=2N is given by the spectrum of a non-Abelian string on a 2D N=2 supersymmetric black hole, with a Higgs-to-string phase transition viewed as a conifold transition.
