Emergent Symmetry on Black Hole Horizons
For a stationary and axisymmetric black hole, there is a natural way to split the fields into a probe sector and a background sector. The equations of motion for the probe sector enjoy a significantly enhanced symmetry on the black hole horizon. The extended symmetry is conformal in four dimensions, while in higher dimensions it is much bigger. This puts conformal symmetry at the bottom of the ...
متن کاملStatistical Entropy of Schwarzschild Black Strings and Black Holes
The statistical entropy of a Schwarzschild black string in five dimensions is obtained by counting the black string states which form a representation of the near-horizon conformal symmetry with a central charge. The statistical entropy of the string agrees with its Bekenstein-Hawking entropy as well as that of the Schwarzschild black hole in four dimensions. The choice of the string length whi...
متن کاملLogarithmic Corrections to Black Hole Entropy from the Cardy Formula
Many recent attempts to calculate black hole entropy from first principles rely on conformal field theory techniques. By examining the logarithmic corrections to the Cardy formula, I compute the first-order quantum correction to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy in several models, including those based on asymptotic symmetries, horizon symmetries, and certain string theories. Despite very differen...
متن کاملCanonical Quantization, Conformal Fields and the Statistical Entropy of the Schwarzschild Black Hole
The Wheeler-DeWitt wave functional of a Schwarzschild black hole obeys the two dimensional, massless Klein-Gordon equation and is supported only in the interior of the Kruskal manifold. The horizon acts as a perfectly reflecting surface. Energy eigenstates of definite parity exhibit the Bekenstein mass spectrum, M ∼ nMp. The wave function can be thought of as describing a particle in a one dime...
متن کاملHorizon 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...
