In this work, starting by simple, approximate (quasi-classical) methods presented in our previous works, we suggest a simple determination of the (logarithmic) corrections of (Schwarzschild) black hole entropy without knowing the details of quantum gravity(Fursaev). Namely, in our previous works we demonstrated that all well-known important thermodynamical characteristics of the black hole (Bekenstein-Hawking entropy, Bekenstein entropy/surface quantization and Hawking temperature) can be effectively reproduced starting by simple supposition that black hole horizon circumference holds integer number of reduced Compton wave lengths corresponding to mass (energy) spectrum of a small quantum system. (Obviously it is conceptually analogous to Bohr quantization postulate interpreted by de Broglie relation in Old, Bohr-Sommerfeld, quantum theory.) Especially, black hole entropy can be presented as the quotient of the black hole mass and the minimal mass of small quantum system in ground mass (energy) state. Now, we suppose that black hole mass correction is simply equivalent to negative classical potential energy of the gravitational interaction between black hole and small quantum system in ground mass (energy) state. As it is not hard to see absolute value of the classical potential energy of gravitational interaction is identical to black hole temperature. All this, according to first thermodynamical law, implies that first order entropy correction holds form of the logarithm of the surface with coefficient -0.5. Our result, obtained practically quasi-classically, without knowing the details of quantum gravity, is equivalent to result obtained by loop quantum gravity and other quantum gravity methods for macroscopic black holes.
It has been known for many years that the leading correction to the black hole entropy is a logarithmic term, which is universal and closely related to conformal anomaly. A fully consistent analysis of this issue has to take quantum backreactions to the black hole geometry into account. However, it was always unclear how to naturally derive the modified black hole metric especially from an effective action, because the problem refers to the elusive non-locality of quantum gravity. In this paper, we show that this problem can be resolved within an effective field theory (EFT) framework of quantum gravity. Our work suggests that the EFT approach provides a powerful and self-consistent tool for studying the quantum gravitational corrections to black hole geometries and thermodynamics.
We define the analytic continuation of the number of black hole microstates in Loop Quantum Gravity to complex values of the Barbero-Immirzi parameter $gamma$. This construction deeply relies on the link between black holes and Chern-Simons theory. Technically, the key point consists in writing the number of microstates as an integral in the complex plane of a holomorphic function, and to make use of complex analysis techniques to perform the analytic continuation. Then, we study the thermodynamical properties of the corresponding system (the black hole is viewed as a gas of indistinguishable punctures) in the framework of the grand canonical ensemble where the energy is defined a la Frodden-Gosh-Perez from the point of view of an observer located close to the horizon. The semi-classical limit occurs at the Unruh temperature $T_U$ associated to this local observer. When $gamma=pm i$, the entropy reproduces at the semi-classical limit the area law with quantum corrections. Furthermore, the quantum corrections are logarithmic provided that the chemical potential is fixed to the simple value $mu=2T_U$.
We study the entropy of the black hole with torsion using the covariant form of the partition function. The regularization of infinities appearing in the semiclassical calculation is shown to be consistent with the grand canonical boundary conditions. The correct value for the black hole entropy is obtained provided the black hole manifold has two boundaries, one at infinity and one at the horizon. However, one can construct special coordinate systems, in which the entropy is effectively associated with only one of these boundaries.
Christodoulou and Rovelli have shown that the maximal interior volume of a Schwarzschild black hole linearly grows with time. Recently, their conclusion has been extended to the Reissner{-}Nordstr$ddot{text{o}}$m and Kerr black holes. Meanwhile, the entropy of interior volume in a Schwarzschild black hole has also been calculated. Here, a new method calculating the entropy of interior volume of the black hole is given and it can be used in more general cases. Using this method, the entropy associated with the volume of a Kerr black hole is calculated and it is found that the entropy is proportional to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy in the early stage of black hole evaporation. Using the differential form, the entropy of interior volume in a Schwarzschild black hole is recalculated. It is shown that the proportionality coefficient between the entropy and the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is half of that given in the previous literature. Moreover, the black hole information paradox is brought up again and discussed.
We consider the effect of a logarithmic f(R) theory, motivated by the form of the one-loop effective action arising from gluons in curved spacetime, on the structure of relativistic stars. In addition to analysing the consistency constraints on the potential of the scalar degree of freedom, we discuss the possibility of observational features arising from a fifth force in the vicinity of the neutron star surface. We find that the model exhibits a chameleon effect that completely suppresses the effect of the modification on scales exceeding a few radii, but close to the surface of the neutron star, the deviation from General Relativity can significantly affect the surface redshift that determines the shift in absorption (or emission) lines. We also use the method of perturbative constraints to solve the modified Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkov equations for normal and self-bound neutron stars (quark stars).
