We show using the entropy function formalism developed by Sen cite{Sen:2005wa} that the boundary term which arises from the Einstein-Hilbert action is sufficient to yield the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of a static extremal black hole which is asymptotically flat. However, for asymptotically $AdS$ black holes, the bulk term also plays an important role due to the presence of the cosmological constant. Further, we show that for extremal rotating black holes, both the boundary and the bulk terms contribute non-vanishing pieces to the entropy.

We specify the semiclassical no-boundary wave function of the universe without relying on a functional integral of any kind. The wave function is given as a sum of specific saddle points of the dynamical theory that satisfy conditions of regularity on geometry and field and which together yield a time neutral state that is normalizable in an appropriate inner product. This specifies a predictive framework of semiclassical quantum cosmology that is adequate to make probabilistic predictions, which are in agreement with observations in simple models. The use of holography to go beyond the semiclassical approximation is briefly discussed.
The naive double-copy of (multi) loop amplitudes involving massive matter coupled to gauge theories will generically produce amplitudes in a gravitational theory that contains additional contributions from propagating antisymmetric tensor and dilaton states even at tree-level. We present a graph-based approach that combines the method of maximal cuts with double-copy construction to offer a systematic framework to isolate the pure Einstein-Hilbert gravitational contributions through loop level. Indeed this allows for a bootstrap of pure-gravitational results from the double-copy of massive scalar-QCD. We apply this to construct the novel result of the D-dimensional one-loop five-point QFT integrand relevant in the classical limit to generating observables associated with the radiative effects of massive black-hole scattering via pure Einstein-Hilbert gravity.
We present a class of exact analytic and static, spherically symmetric black hole solutions in the semi-classical Einstein equations with Weyl anomaly. The solutions have two branches, one is asymptotically flat and the other asymptotically de Sitter. We study thermodynamic properties of the black hole solutions and find that there exists a logarithmic correction to the well-known Bekenstein-Hawking area entropy. The logarithmic term might come from non-local terms in the effective action of gravity theories. The appearance of the logarithmic term in the gravity side is quite important in the sense that with this term one is able to compare black hole entropy up to the subleading order, in the gravity side and in the microscopic statistical interpretation side.
We parametrize the (2+1)-dimensional AdS space and the BTZ black hole with Fefferman-Graham coordinates starting from the AdS boundary. We consider various boundary metrics: Rindler, static de Sitter and FRW. In each case, we compute the holographic stress-energy tensor of the dual CFT and confirm that it has the correct form, including the effects of the conformal anomaly. We find that the Fefferman-Graham parametrization also spans a second copy of the AdS space, including a second boundary. For the boundary metrics we consider, the Fefferman-Graham coordinates do not cover the whole AdS space. We propose that the length of the line delimiting the excluded region at a given time can be identified with the entropy of the dual CFT on a background determined by the boundary metric. For Rindler and de Sitter backgrounds our proposal reproduces the expected entropy. For a FRW background it produces a generalization of the Cardy formula that takes into account the vacuum energy related to the expansion.
Spacetime geometries dual to arbitrary fluid flows in strongly coupled N=4 super Yang Mills theory have recently been constructed perturbatively in the long wavelength limit. We demonstrate that these geometries all have regular event horizons, and determine the location of the horizon order by order in a boundary derivative expansion. Intriguingly, the derivative expansion allows us to determine the location of the event horizon in the bulk as a local function of the fluid dynamical variables. We define a natural map from the boundary to the horizon using ingoing null geodesics. The area-form on spatial sections of the horizon can then be pulled back to the boundary to define a local entropy current for the dual field theory in the hydrodynamic limit. The area theorem of general relativity guarantees the positivity of the divergence of the entropy current thus constructed.
