An exact conformal field theory describing a black hole in two-dimensional space-time is found as an SL(2,{ital openR})/U(1) gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten model, which should be regarded as an analog of the extreme Reissner-Nordstroem black hole of four-dimensional general relativity.

This work extends spacetime duality to superspace, including fermions in the low-energy limits of superstrings, and the tangent space is a curved, extended superspace based on an enlarged coordinate space where the vanishing of the d'Alembertian is as fundamental as the disappearing of the curl of a gradient.
