Light Sheets and the Covariant Entropy Conjecture
نویسنده
چکیده
We examine the holography bound suggested by Bousso in his covariant entropy conjecture, and argue that it is violated because his notion of light sheet is too generous. We suggest its replacement by a weaker bound.

Light-sheets and Bekenstein’s bound
From the covariant bound on the entropy of partial light-sheets, we derive a version of Bekenstein’s bound: S/M ≤ πx/~, where S, M , and x are the entropy, total mass, and width of any isolated, weakly gravitating system. Because x can be measured along any spatial direction, the bound becomes unexpectedly tight in thin systems. Our result completes the identification of older entropy bounds as...
متن کاملComments on a Covariant Entropy Conjecture
Recently Bousso conjectured the entropy crossing a certain light-like hypersurface is bounded by the surface area. We point out a number of difficulties with this conjecture.
متن کاملA covariant entropy conjecture on cosmological dynamical horizon
We here propose a covariant entropy conjecture on cosmological dynamical horizon. After the formulation of our conjecture, we test its validity in adiabatically expanding universes with open, flat and closed spatial geometry, where our conjecture can also be viewed as a cosmological version of the generalized second law of thermodynamics in some sense.

With an aim towards understanding the time-dependence of entanglement entropy in generic quantum field theories, we propose a covariant generalization of the holographic entanglement entropy proposal of hep-th/0603001. Apart from providing several examples of possible covariant generalizations, we study a particular construction based on light-sheets, motivated in similar spirit to the covarian...
