Entropy-Area Relations in Field Theory

چکیده
We consider the contribution to the entropy from fields in the background of a curved time-independent metric. To account for the curvature of space, we postulate a position-dependent UV cutoff. We argue that a UV cutoff on energy naturally implies an IR cutoff on distance. With this procedure, we calculate the scalar contribution in a background anti-de Sitter space, the exterior of a black hole, and de Sitter space. In all cases, we find results that can be simply interpreted in terms of local energy and proper volume, yielding insight into the apparent reduced dimensionality of systems with gravity.

It has been proposed that spacetimes with a U(1) isometry group have contributions to the entropy from Misner strings as well as from the area of d−2 dimensional fixed point sets. In this paper we test this proposal by constructing Taub-Nut-AdS and Taub-Bolt-AdS solutions which are examples of a new class of asymptotically locally anti-de Sitter spaces. We find that with the additional contribu...

In the second self-creation theory of gravitation and in the general theory of relativity, Bianchi type VI0 cosmological model in the presence of viscous fluid is studied. An exact solution of the field equations is given by considering the cosmological model yields a constant decelerations parameter q=constant and the coefficients of the metric are taken as A(t)=[c1t+c<su...

The trace over the degrees of freedom located in a subset of the space transforms the vacuum state into a mixed density matrix with non zero entropy. This geometric entropy is believed to be deeply related to the entropy of black holes. Indeed, previous calculations in the context of quantum field theory, where the result is actually ultraviolet divergent, have shown that the geometric entropy ...
