A state of a black hole in loop quantum gravity is given by a distribution of spins on punctures on the horizon. The distribution is of the Boltzmann type, with the area playing the role of the energy. In investigations where the total area was kept approximately constant, there was a kind of thermal equilibrium between the spins which have the same analogue temperature and the entropy was proportional to the area. If the area is precisely fixed, however, multiple constraints appear, different…

Black hole state counting in loop quantum gravity

The two ways of counting microscopic states of black holes in the U(1) formulation of loop quantum gravity: one counting all allowed spin network labels j, m and the other only m labels, are…

The SU(2) black hole entropy revisited

We study the state-counting problem that arises in the SU(2) black hole entropy calculation in loop quantum gravity. More precisely, we compute the leading term and the logarithmic correction of both…

Isolated Horizons and Black Hole Entropy in Loop Quantum Gravity

We review the black hole entropy calculation in the framework of Loop Quantum Gravity based on the quasi-local definition of a black hole encoded in the isolated horizon formalism. We show, by means…

This is a review of results on black hole physics in the context of loop quantum gravity, finding the discreteness of geometric quantities at the Planck scale predicted by this approach to quantum gravity to be key.

Entanglement entropy of a black hole and isolated horizon

Using Unruh-Verlinde temperature obtained by entropic force, we directly calculate partition functions of quantum field in Schwarzschild spacetime via quantum statistical method and derive the…

ENTANGLEMENT ENTROPY OF d-DIMENSIONAL BLACK HOLE AND QUANTUM ISOLATED HORIZON

Based on the works of Ghosh et al. who view the black hole entropy as the logarithm of the number of quantum states on the Quantum Isolated Horizon (QIH), the entropy of d-dimensional black hole is…

Entanglement entropy of charged dilaton-axion black hole and quantum isolated horizon

Abstract.Based on the work of Ghosh and Perez, we calculate the statistical entropy of charged dilaton-axion black hole. In the calculations we take the integral from the position of QIH to infinity,…

Gibbs paradox, black hole entropy, and the thermodynamics of isolated horizons

This letter presents a new, solely thermodynamical argument for considering the states of the quantum isolated horizon of a black hole as distinguishable. We claim that only if the states are…

Entropy of Black Holes in N=2 Supergravity

Using the techniques of isolated horizon formalism, we construct the space of solutions of asymptotically flat extremal black holes in N=2 pure supergravity in 4 dimensions. We prove the laws of…

Anyonic statistics and large horizon diffeomorphisms for loop quantum gravity black holes

We investigate the role played by large diffeomorphisms of quantum Isolated Horizons for the statistics of LQG Black Holes by means of their relation to the braid group. To this aim the symmetries of…
