Cosmological Entropy and Black Holes in
In this talk we discuss intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) by their amplilification of distant sources; MACHO searches have studied event times 2h∼ t0 < ∼ 2y corresponding masses in the range 10M⊙ < ∼ M < ∼ 100M⊙. We suggest that larger masses up to 10 M⊙ are also of considerable interest by arguments about the entropy of the universe. One percent by mass of dark energy can provide ninety-ni...
متن کاملThermal Fields, Entropy, and Black Holes
In this review we describe statistical mechanics of quantum systems in the presence of a Killing horizon and compare statistical-mechanical and one-loop contributions to black hole entropy. Studying these questions was motivated by attempts to explain the entropy of black holes as a statistical-mechanical entropy of quantum fields propagating near the black hole horizon. We provide an introduct...
متن کاملMicroscopic entropy of black holes and AdS 2 quantum gravity ∗
Quantum gravity (QG) on two-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime (AdS2) takes always the form of a chiral conformal field theory (CFT). However, the actual content of the CFT, and in particular its central charge, depends on the background values of the dilaton and Maxwell field. We review the main features of AdS2 QG with linear dilaton and of AdS2 QG with constant dilaton and Maxwell field. W...
متن کاملThermodynamics of de Sitter Black Holes: Thermal Cosmological Constant
We study the thermodynamic properties associated with the black hole event horizon and the cosmological horizon for black hole solutions in asymptotically de Sitter spacetimes. We examine thermodynamics of these horizons on the basis of the conserved charges according to Teitelboim’s method. In particular, we have succeeded in deriving the generalized Smarr formula among thermodynamical quantit...
متن کاملThermal Decay of the Cosmological Constant into Black Holes
We show that the cosmological constant may be reduced by thermal production of membranes by the cosmological horizon, analogous to a particle “going over the top of the potential barrier”, rather than tunneling through it. The membranes are endowed with charge associated with the gauge invariance of an antisymmetric gauge potential. In this new process, the membrane collapses into a black hole,...
