The richer theory, which has as limiting cases the five string theories studied in the last genera- tion, has come to be called M-theory, where M stands for ...

Namely, how can we understand the entropy of black holes from a counting of microstates? For this, a theory of quantum gravity is needed and the particular candidate we work with is string theory. We will introduce this theory and explain how microstates of black holes are counted. We will also give an overview of the work presented in this thesis.
