Black hole entropy from classical Liouville theory

چکیده
In this article we compute the black hole entropy by finding a classical central charge of the Virasoro algebra of a Liouville theory using the Cardy formula. This is done by performing a dimensional reduction of the Einstein Hilbert action with the ansatz of spherical symmetry and writing the metric in conformally flat form. We obtain two coupled field equations. Using the near horizon approximation the field equation for the conformal factor decouples. The one concerning the conformal factor is a Liouville equation, it posses the symmetry induced by a Virasoro algebra. We argue that it describes the microstates of the black hole, namely the generators of this symmetry do not change the thermodynamical properties of the black hole.

متن کاملLiouville Lost, Liouville Regained: Central Charge in a Dynamical Background
Several recent approaches to black hole entropy obtain the density of states from the central charge of a Liouville theory. If Liouville theory is coupled to a dynamical spacetime background, however, the classical central charge vanishes. I show that the central charge can be restored by introducing appropriate constraints, which may be interpreted as fall-off conditions at a boundary such as ...
متن کاملQuantum Liouville theory and BTZ black hole entropy
In this paper I give an explicit conformal field theory description of (2+1)dimensional BTZ black hole entropy. In the boundary Liouville field theory I investigate the reducible Verma modules in the elliptic sector, which correspond to certain irreducible representations of the quantum algebra Uq(sl2)⊙Uq̂(sl2). I show that there are states that decouple from these reducible Verma modules in a s...
متن کاملNonconservation of energy-momentum tensor in classical Liouville theory
where Ah is the area of the horizon. In this context, the classical Liouville theory [4] has gained considerable importance owing to the work of Solodukhin [5]. He showed that the computation of the black hole entropy can be carried out at the classical level. He observed that the 4-dimensional Einstein-Hilbert action can be reduced to an effective 2-dimensional theory, with fixed boundary cond...
