Thermal fields, entropy and black holes
Open accessAbstract
In this review we describe the statistical mechanics of quantum systems in the presence of a Killing horizon and compare statistical-mechanical and 1-loop contributions to black-hole entropy. The study of 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 introduction to this field of research and review its results. In particular, we discuss the relation between the statistical-mechanical entropy of quantum fields and the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy in the standard scheme with renormalization of gravitational coupling constants and in the theories of induced gravity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
