BLACK HOLE ENTROPY REVEALS A 12th DIMENSION
The Beckenstein-Hawking black hole entropy in string theory and its generalizations, as expressed in terms of charges that correspond to central extensions of the supersymmetry algebra, has more symmetries than U-duality. It is invariant under transformations of the charges, involving a 12th (or 13th) “dimension”. This is an indication that the secret theory behind string theory has a superalge...
متن کاملBlack Hole Entropy from Conformal Field Theory in Any Dimension
Restricted to a black hole horizon, the “gauge” algebra of surface deformations in general relativity contains a Virasoro subalgebra with a calculable central charge. The fields in any quantum theory of gravity must transform accordingly, i.e., they must admit a conformal field theory description. Applying Cardy’s formula for the asymptotic density of states, I use this result to derive the Bek...
متن کاملBlack Hole Entropy from Conformal Field Theory in Any Dimension
When restricted to the horizon of a black hole, the " gauge " algebra of surface deformations in general relativity contains a physically important Virasoro subalgebra with a calculable central charge. The fields in any quantum theory of gravity must transform under this algebra; that is, they must admit a conformal field theory description. With the aid of Cardy's formula for the asymptotic de...
متن کاملOn black hole entropy.
Two techniques for computing black hole entropy in generally covariant gravity theories including arbitrary higher derivative interactions are studied. The techniques are Wald’s Noether charge approach introduced recently, and a field redefinition method developed in this paper. Wald’s results are extended by establishing that his local geometric expression for the black hole entropy gives the ...
متن کاملDynamic black-hole entropy
We consider two non-statistical definitions of entropy for dynamic (non-stationary) black holes in spherical symmetry. The first is analogous to the original Clausius definition of thermodynamic entropy: there is a first law containing an energy-supply term which equals surface gravity times a total differential. The second is Wald’s Noether-charge method, adapted to dynamic black holes by usin...
