Cut-off QFT and black hole entropy
نویسنده
چکیده
We clarify the relationship between black hole entropy and the number of degrees of freedom in the dual QFT with a cutoff. We show that simple gravity arguments predict the correct cutoff procedure.

On the quantum width of a black hole horizon
The many low energy modes near a black hole horizon give the thermal atmosphere a divergent entropy which becomes of order A/4G with a Planck scale cut-off. However, Sorkin has given a Newtonian argument for 3+1 Schwarzschild black holes to the effect that fluctuations of such modes provide the horizon with a non-zero quantum mechanical width. This width then effectively enforces a cut-off at m...
متن کاملEntanglement and Thermodynamics of Black Hole Entropy
Using simple conditions drawn from the stability of the cosmos in terms of vacuum energy density, the cut-off momentum of entanglement is related to the planckian mass. In so doing the black hole entropy is shown to be independent of the number of field species that contribute to vacuum fluctuations. And this is in spite of the fact that the number of field species is a linear multiplicand of t...
متن کاملEntropy of Scalar Field in 3+1 Dimensional Constant Curvature Black Hole Background
We consider the thermodynamics of minimally coupled massive scalar field in 3+1 dimensional constant curvature black hole background. The brick wall model of ’t Hooft is used. When Scharzschild like coordinates are used it is found that apart from the usual radial brick wall cut-off parammeter an angular cut-off parameter is required to regularize the solution. Free energy of the scalar field i...
متن کاملHolography and Brane Cosmology in Domain Wall Backgrounds
We consider a class of domain-wall black hole solutions in the dilaton gravity with a Liouville-type dilaton potential. Using the surface counterterm approach we calculate the stress-energy tensor of quantum field theory (QFT) corresponding to the domain-wall black hole in the domain-wall/QFT correspondence. A brane universe is investigated in the domain-wall black hole background. When the ten...
متن کاملEntropy of Scalar Field in 3+1 Dimensional Reissner-Nordstrom de Sitter Black Hole Background
We consider the thermodynamics of minimally coupled massive scalar field in 3+1 dimensional Reissner-Nordstrom de Sitter black hole background. The brick wall model of ’t Hooft is used. When Schwarzschild like coordinates are used it is found that two radial brick wall cut-off parameters are required to regularize the solution. Free energy of the scalar field is obtained through counting of sta...
