Abstract
It has been shown by A. Sen that logarithmic corrections to the black hole
area-entropy law are entirely determined macroscopically from the massless
particle spectrum. They therefore serve as powerful consistency checks on any
proposed enumeration of quantum black hole microstates. Sen's results include a
macroscopic computation of the logarithmic corrections for a five-dimensional
near extremal Kerr-Newman black hole. Here we compute these corrections
microscopically using a stringy embedding of the Kerr/CFT correspondence and
find perfect agreement.
