Effective Field Theory, Black Holes, and the Cosmological Constant
Open accessAbstract
Bekenstein has proposed the bound $S\ensuremath{\le}\ensuremath{\pi}{M}_{P}^{2}{L}^{2}$ on the total entropy $S$ in a volume ${L}^{3}$. This nonextensive scaling suggests that quantum field theory breaks down in large volume. To reconcile this breakdown with the success of local quantum field theory in describing observed particle phenomenology, we propose a relationship between UV and IR cutoffs such that an effective field theory should be a good description of nature. We discuss implications for the cosmological constant problem. We find a limitation on the accuracy which can be achieved by conventional effective field theory.

“However the peculiar thermodynamics of black holes [1,2] has led Bekenstein [1] to postulate that the maximum entropy in a box of volume L(3) behaves non-extensively, growing only as the area of the box.”

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.
