Show affiliationsWe 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 two-charge microstates and explore how 'fractionation' can lead to quantum effects over macroscopic length scales of the order of the horizon radius.
04.70.Dy Quantum aspects of black holes, evaporation, thermodynamics
11.25.Sq Nonperturbative techniques; string field theory
11.27.+d Extended classical solutions; cosmic strings, domain walls, texture
81T30 String and superstring theories; other extended objects (e.g., branes) (See also 83E30)
