In this paper, we provide a state-counting derivation of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy formula for single-sided black holes. We firstly articulate the concept of the black hole microstates. Then we construct explicit mircostates of single-sided black holes in (2+1)-dimensional spacetimes with a negative cosmological constant. These microstates are constructed by putting a Karch-Randall brane behind the black hole horizon. Their difference is described by different interior excitations which gravitationally backreact. We show that these microstates have nonperturbatively small overlaps with each other. As a result, we use this fact to give a state-counting derivation of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy formula for single-sided black holes. At the end, we notice that there are no negative norm states in the resulting Hilbert space of the black hole microstates which in turn ensures unitarity. All calculations in this paper are analytic and can be easily generalized to higher spacetime dimensions.

  1. Cosmology inside a black hole: adding matter on the brane

    hep-th 2025-04 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Perfect-fluid or axion matter on an end-of-the-world brane inside an AdS black hole removes a Euclidean self-intersection obstruction that pure-tension branes suffer in the approximately local regime.

  2. Microstate counting from defects in de Sitter

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Counting defect microstates via Lorentzian wormholes reproduces the de Sitter and Schwarzschild-de Sitter entropy area laws.

  3. How to Count States in Gravity

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The Gibbons-Hawking Euclidean gravity path integral with periodic time equals an explicit thermal trace over the single-boundary quantum gravity Hilbert space.

  4. Non-conformal Line Defect (Shell Operator) in AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$: Spinning and Higher Point Correlators

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Spinning and higher-point thin-shell operator correlators in AdS3/CFT2 are shown to match across ETH analysis, the vacuum Virasoro block, and gravitational on-shell actions, with order-dependent structure for multiple...

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The RT formula for entanglement in AdS3/CFT2, including phase transitions and multi-interval vacuum entropies, is derived from an assumed large-c ensemble of (B)CFT data, under the 'It from ETH' paradigm.

  6. A Note on Black Hole Entropy and Wormhole Instabilities

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A microcanonical treatment of Euclidean wormhole overlap integrals removes Jeans and GPY instabilities and yields the expected black hole entropy without spurious phases.

  7. Non-Locality induces Isometry and Factorisation in Holography

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    State-averaged wormhole corrections make the Gram matrix of time-shifted thermofield double microstates low-rank, giving a finite black hole Hilbert space of dimension e^{S_BH} and a type I von Neumann algebra.
