  Abstract:
We use the black hole entropy function to study the effect of Born-Infeld terms on the entropy of spherically symmetric extremal black holes in heterotic string theory in four dimensions. We show that the Born-Infeld terms are capable of stretching the horizon of a small black hole and the resulting entropy is finite. We add higher curvature terms of the Gauss-Bonnet type and study the resulting attractor equations. In the α′→ 0 limit, our results are in conformity with the ones for standard two charge black holes in heterotic string theory.
