We shall try to show a relation between black hole (BH) entropy and topological entropy using the famous Baum-Connes conjecture for foliated manifolds which are particular examples of noncommutative spaces. Our argument is qualitative and it is based on the microscopic origin of the Beckenstein-Hawking area-entropy formula for BHs, provided by superstring theory, in the more general noncommutative geometric context of M-theory following the approach of Connes-Douglas-Schwarz.
