Kolmogorov–Sinai entropy and black holes

It is shown that stringy matter near the event horizon of a Schwarzschild black hole exhibits chaotic behavior (the spreading effect) which can be characterized by the Kolmogorov–Sinai entropy. It is found that the Kolmogorov–Sinai entropy of a spreading string equals the half of the inverse gravitational radius of the black hole. The Kolmogorov–Sinai entropy of a spreading string measures the rate at which information about the state of a string collapsing into the black hole is lost with time as it spreads over the horizon. A possible relation between the Kolmogorov–Sinai and Bekenstein–Hawking entropies is discussed.
