Entropy bound and local quantum field theory
نویسنده
چکیده
I comment on Ulvi Yurtsever’s result, which states that the entropy of a truncated bosonic Fock space is given by a holographic bound when the energy of the Fock states is constrained gravitationally. The derivation given in Yurtsever’s paper contains an subtle mistake, which invalidates the result. A more restrictive, non-holographic entropy bound is derived. PACS numbers: 04.70.-s, 03.67.-a

Holographic entropy bound and local quantum field theory.
I show how the holographic entropy bound can be derived from elementary flat-spacetime quantum field theory when the total energy of Fock states is constrained gravitationally. This energy constraint makes the Fock space dimension (whose logarithm is the maximum entropy) finite for both bosons and fermions. Despite the elementary nature of my analysis, it results in an upper limit on entropy in...
متن کاملRadiation Entropy Bound from the Second Law of Thermodynamics
It has been suggested heuristically by Unruh and Wald, and independently by Page, that at given energy and volume, thermal radiation has the largest entropy. The suggestion leads to the corresponding universal bound on entropy of physical systems. Using a gedanken experiment we show that the bound follows from the Second Law of Thermodynamics if the CPT symmetry is assumed and a general conditi...
متن کاملA geometrical origin for the covariant entropy bound
Causal diamond-shaped subsets of space-time appear naturally in the algebraic approach to quantum field theory, and they are also related to the Bousso covariant entropy bound. In this work we argue that the net of these causal sets to which are assigned the local operator algebras of quantum theories should be taken to be non orthomodular if there is some lowest scale for the description of sp...
متن کاملRelative entropy and the Bekenstein bound
Elaborating on a previous work by Marolf et al, we relate some exact results in quantum field theory and statistical mechanics to the Bekenstein universal bound on entropy. Specifically, we consider the relative entropy between the vacuum and another state, both reduced to a local region. We propose that, with the adequate interpretation, the positivity of the relative entropy in this case cons...
متن کاملun 2 00 8 Quantum Bound on the Specific Entropy in Strong - Coupled Scalar Field Theory
We discuss the (g0 φ )d self-interacting scalar field theory, in the strong-coupling regime. We assume the presence of macroscopic boundaries confining the field in a hypercube of side L. We also consider that the system is in thermal equilibrium at temperature β −1. For spatially bounded free fields, the Bekenstein bound states that the specific entropy satisfies the inequality S E < 2πR, wher...
