چکیده

Peng Wang ∗ Department of Physics, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305-4060, USA † Abstract We present an observation about the proposal that four-dimensional modification of general relativity may explain the observed cosmic acceleration today. Assuming that the thermodynamical nature of gravity theory continues to hold in modified gravity theories, we derive the modified horizon entropy formula from the modified Friedmann equation. We argue that our results imply that there are conceptual problems in some models of four-dimensional modification of general relativity. PACS: 04.50.+h, 98.80.Jk

Finite entanglement entropy from the zero-point area of spacetime

The calculation of entanglement entropy S of quantum fields in spacetimes with horizon shows that, quite generically, S is (a) proportional to the area A of the horizon and (b) divergent. I argue that this divergence, which arises even in the case of Rindler horizon in flat spacetime, is yet another indication of a deep connection between horizon thermodynamics and gravitational dynamics. In an...

The phase transition of corrected black hole with f(R) gravity

In this letter, we consider static black hole in f(R) gravity.We take advantage from corrected entropy and temperature and investigate such black hole. Finally, we study the $ P - V $ critically and phase transition of corrected black hole with respect to entropy and temperature. Here also, we obtain the heat capacity for the static black hole in $ f(R) $ gravity. This calculation help us...

Phase-space and Black Hole Entropy of Toroidal Horizons in Loop Quantum Gravity

In the context of loop quantum gravity, we construct the phase-space of the isolated horizon with toroidal topology. Within the loop quantum gravity framework, this horizon is described by a torus with N punctures and the dimension of the corresponding phase-space is calculated including the toroidal cycles as degrees of freedom. From this, the black hole entropy can be calculated by counting t...
