Horizon Constraints and Black Hole Entropy
A question about a black hole in quantum gravity is a conditional question: to obtain an answer, one must restrict initial or boundary data to ensure that a black hole is actually present. For two-dimensional dilaton gravity—and probably for a much wider class of theories—I show that the imposition of a spacelike “stretched horizon” constraint modifies the algebra of symmetries, inducing a cent...
متن کاملEntanglement entropy of the black hole horizon
We examine a possibility that, when a black hole is formed, the information on the collapsed star is stored as the entanglement entropy between the outside and the thin region (of the order of the Planck length) of the inside the horizon. For this reason, we call this as the entanglement entropy of the black hole “horizon”. We construct two models, one is in the Minkowski spacetime and the othe...
متن کاملBlack Hole Entropy from Near–Horizon Microstates
Black holes whose near–horizon geometries are locally, but not necessarily globally, AdS3 (three–dimensional anti-de Sitter space) are considered. Using the fact that quantum gravity on AdS3 is a conformal field theory, we microscopically compute the black hole entropy from the asymptotic growth of states. Precise numerical agreement with the Bekenstein-Hawking area formula for the entropy is f...
متن کاملBlack hole versus cosmological horizon entropy
The generalized second law of thermodynamics states that entropy always increases when all event horizons are attributed with an entropy proportional to their area. We test the generalized second law by investigating the change in entropy when dust, radiation and black holes cross a cosmological event horizon. We generalize for flat, open and closed Friedmann–Robertson–Walker universes by using...
متن کاملBlack hole thermodynamics from Euclidean horizon constraints.
To explain black hole thermodynamics in quantum gravity, one must introduce constraints to ensure that a black hole is actually present. I show that for a large class of black holes, such "horizon constraints" allow the use of conformal field theory techniques to compute the density of states, reproducing the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy in a nearly model-independent manner. One standard string t...
