The modeling of black holes is an important desideratum for any quantum theory of gravity. Not only is a classical black hole metric sought, but also agreement with the laws of black hole thermodynamics. In this paper, we describe how these goals are achieved in string theory. We review black hole thermodynamics, and then explicate the general stringy derivation of classical spacetimes, the construction of a simple black hole solution, and the derivation of its entropy. With that in hand, we address some important philosophical and conceptual questions: the confirmatory value of the derivation, the bearing of the model on recent discussions of the so-called ‘information paradox’, and the implications of the model for the nature of space.

黑洞的建模是任何量子引力理论的重要需求。不仅要寻求经典的黑洞度量，还要与黑洞热力学定律一致。在本文中，我们描述了如何在弦理论中实现这些目标。我们回顾了黑洞热力学，然后解释了经典时空的一般弦推导，一个简单的黑洞解的构造，以及它的熵的推导。有了这个，我们解决了一些重要的哲学和概念问题：推导的验证价值，模型对最近所谓的“信息悖论”讨论的影响，以及模型对空间性质的影响.
