We revisit Carlip's approach to entropy counting. This analysis reemerged in a recently obtained Schwarzschild/CFT-correspondence as Sugawara-construction of a 2D stress-tensor. Here, for the example of a Schwarzschild black hole, we show how to single out diffeomorphisms forming in contrast to Carlip's analysis the full 2D local conformal algebra. We provide arguments, why their Hamiltonian generators are expected to be the symmetry generators of a possible conformal field theory describing the part of phase space responsible for black hole microstates. Then, we can infer central charges and temperatures of this CFT by inspecting the algebra of these Hamiltonian generators. Using this data in the Cardy-formula, precise agreement with the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is found. Alternatively, we obtain the same CFT temperatures by thermodynamic considerations. Altogether, this suggests that the Hamiltonian generators need no corrections through possible non-canonical counterterms. We comment on the related recent work by Haco, Hawking, Perry, Strominger.

Formulation and Proof of the Gravitational Entropy Bound
The paper derives ln V ≤ A/(4ℏG) for the phase-space volume of states with surface area at most A, using diffeomorphism invariance and a path-integral framework from the author's prior work.
