abstract

We present evidence which confirms a suggestion by Susskind and Uglum regarding black hole entropy. Using a Pauli-Villars regulator, we find that 't Hooft's approach to evaluating black hole entropy through a statistical-mechanical counting of states for a scalar field propagating outside the event horizon yields precisely the one-loop renormalization of the standard Bekenstein-Hawking formula, $S=\A/(4G)$. Our calculation also yields a constant contribution to the black hole entropy, a contribution associated with the one-loop renormalization of higher curvature terms in the gravitational action.

Entanglement Entropy and Thermodynamics of Dynamical Black Holes

hep-th · 2025-09-06 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

In f(R) theories, the replica-method gravitational entropy computed on the apparent horizon matches the Hollands-Wald-Zhang dynamical black hole entropy and satisfies the first law, while the event horizon does not; this lets the generalized second law be reinterpreted as matter entanglement across

Black Hole Thermodynamics and Gravity's Rainbow

gr-qc · 2019-07-05 · unverdicted · novelty 3.0

Gravity's Rainbow framework eliminates the need for regularization and renormalization in calculations of scalar field density of states near rotating black hole horizons.
