DESCRIPTION:There has been considerable progress recently in computing fin
 ite size quantum corrections to the Bekenstein-Hawking-Wald entropy for a 
 class of  black holes in string theory. These computations of `exact' quan
 tum entropy of black holes involve a new application of localization techn
 iques in a gravitational context and reveal surprising connections with th
 e fascinating mathematics of  mock modular forms.\n\nIn the broader contex
 t of holography and the AdS/CFT correspondence\,  such finite size quantum
  gravity corrections correspond to finite N  corrections in the gauge theo
 ry. I will outline  why such corrections are interesting\, how to compute 
 them\,  and what we can learn from them.
