This departure from the A/4 universality results from a string instanton generating a black hole with smaller entropy at a temperature exceeding the Hawking value. The temperature is sensitive to the presence of classical matter outside the black hole horizon but the entropy is not. The horizon materializes at the quantum level. It is conjectured that such a macroscopic non local effect may be operative in retrieving information from incipient black holes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "1995-10-19T17:18:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "black hole entropy", "string instanton", "macroscopic non local effect", "schwarzschild black holes", "black hole horizon" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier", "journal": "Nucl.
