Black hole state counting in loop quantum gravity
نویسنده
چکیده
Counting of microscopic states of black holes is discussed within the framework of loop quantum gravity. There are two different ways, one allowing for all spin states and the other involving only pure horizon states. The number of states with a definite value of the total spin is also found.

Phase-space and Black Hole Entropy of Toroidal Horizons in Loop Quantum Gravity
In the context of loop quantum gravity, we construct the phase-space of the isolated horizon with toroidal topology. Within the loop quantum gravity framework, this horizon is described by a torus with N punctures and the dimension of the corresponding phase-space is calculated including the toroidal cycles as degrees of freedom. From this, the black hole entropy can be calculated by counting t...
متن کاملPhase-space and Black Hole Entropy of Higher Genus Horizons in Loop Quantum Gravity
In the context of loop quantum gravity, we construct the phase-space of isolated horizons with genus greater than 0. Within the loop quantum gravity framework, these horizons are described by genus g surfaces with N punctures and the dimension of the corresponding phase-space is calculated including the genus cycles as degrees of freedom. From this, the black hole entropy can be calculated by c...
متن کاملOn the counting of black hole states in loop quantum gravity
We argue that counting black hole states in loop quantum gravity one should take into account only states with the minimal spin at the horizon. One of the main achievements of the loop approach [1, 2, 3, 4] to quantization of gravity is the derivation of the Bekenstein–Hawking entropy of a spherically symmetric black hole via counting of micro states. The original idea was proposed in [5] and t...
متن کاملQuantum isolated horizons and black hole entropy
We give a short introduction to the approaches currently used to describe black holes in loop quantum gravity. We will concentrate on the classical issues related to the modeling of black holes as isolated horizons, give a short discussion of their canonical quantization by using loop quantum gravity techniques, and a description of the combinatorial methods necessary to solve the counting prob...
متن کاملBlack hole state counting in loop quantum gravity: a number-theoretical approach.
We give an efficient method, combining number-theoretic and combinatorial ideas, to exactly compute black hole entropy in the framework of loop quantum gravity. Along the way we provide a complete characterization of the relevant sector of the spectrum of the area operator, including degeneracies, and explicitly determine the number of solutions to the projection constraint. We use a computer i...
