Quantum Entropy of Spin Fields in the Schwarzschild-Anti-de Sitter Black Hole with a Global Monopole

The quantum entropies of gravitational, electromagnetic, neutrino and scalar fields in the static Schwarzschild-anti-de Sitter black hole with a global monopole are investigated by using the brick-wall model. The quantum entropy contain two parts: One is quadratically divergent term which takes a geometric character; the other is spin-dependent, logarithmically divergent terms. The whole expression of the entropy of a spin field does not take the form of the scalar field. PACS: 04.70. Dy, 97.60.Lf

Effects of quantum gravity on the inflationary parameters and thermodynamics of the early universe

The effects of generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) on the inflationary dynamics and the thermodynamics of the early universe are studied. Using the GUP approach, the tensorial and scalar density fluctuations in the inflation era are evaluated and compared with the standard case. We find a good agreement with the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe data. Assuming that a quantum gas of scalar particles is confined within a thin layer near the apparent horizon of the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker universe which satisfies the boundary condition, the number and entropy densities and the free energy arising form the quantum states are calculated using the GUP approach. A qualitative estimation for effects of the quantum gravity on all these thermodynamic quantities is introduced.     

Intrinsic Entropy of Squeezed Quantum Fields and Nonequilibrium Quantum Dynamics of Cosmological Perturbations

Density contrasts in the universe are governed by scalar cosmological perturbations which, when expressed in terms of gauge-invariant variables, contain a classical component from scalar metric perturbations and a quantum component from inflaton field fluctuations. It has long been known that the effect of cosmological expansion on a quantum field amounts to squeezing. Thus, the entropy of cosmological perturbations can be studied by treating them in the framework of squeezed quantum systems. Entropy of a free quantum field is a seemingly simple yet subtle issue. In this paper, different from previous treatments, we tackle this issue with a fully developed nonequilibrium quantum field theory formalism for such systems. We compute the covariance matrix elements of the parametric quantum field and solve for the evolution of the density matrix elements and the Wigner functions, and, from them, derive the von Neumann entropy. We then show explicitly why the entropy for the squeezed yet closed system is zero, but is proportional to the particle number produced upon coarse-graining out the correlation between the particle pairs. We also construct the bridge between our quantum field-theoretic results and those using the probability distribution of classical stochastic fields by earlier authors, preserving some important quantum properties, such as entanglement and coherence, of the quantum field.     

Geometrical Excess Entropy Production in Nonequilibrium Quantum Systems

For open systems described by the quantum Markovian master equation, we study a possible extension of the Clausius equality to quasistatic operations between nonequilibrium steady states (NESSs). We investigate the excess heat divided by temperature (i.e., excess entropy production) which is transferred into the system during the operations. We derive a geometrical expression for the excess entropy production, which is analogous to the Berry phase in unitary evolution. Our result implies that in general one cannot define a scalar potential whose difference coincides with the excess entropy production in a thermodynamic process, and that a vector potential plays a crucial role in the thermodynamics for NESSs. In the weakly nonequilibrium regime, we show that the geometrical expression reduces to the extended Clausius equality derived by Saito and Tasaki (J. Stat. Phys. 145:1275, 2011). As an example, we investigate a spinless electron system in quantum dots. We find that one can define a scalar potential when the parameters of only one of the reservoirs are modified in a non-interacting system, but this is no longer the case for an interacting system.

The Quantum Corrections to the Entropy of Stationary Axisymmetric Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton-Axion Black Holes

By using 't Hooft's brick wall model, thecorrections for a massless quantum scalar field to theblack hole entropy are studied in a stationaryaxisymmetric Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton-axion black holespace-time. The free energy and entropy for this case arecalculated; in Hartle-Hawking states, the derivedquantum entropy is composed of the part that has ageometric feature and the part that is logarithmically divergent, and it turns out that thelogarithmic part is related to the characteristicquantities of a black hole.     

Black Hole Entropies of the Thin Film Model and the Membrane Model Without Cutoffs

Taking into account the effect of the generalized uncertainty principle on the generalized black hole entropy and tacking the thin film brick-wall model, we calculate the entropy of the quantum scalar field in generalized static black hole. The Bekenstein–Hawking entropies of all well-known static black holes are obtained. The entropy of 2-D membrane just at the event horizon of static black hole is also calculated, and the result of the black hole entropy proportional to the event horizon area can be obtained more easily and generally. This discussion shows that black hole entropy is just identified with the entropy of the quantum field on the event horizon. The difference from the original brick-wall model is that the present result is convergent without any cutoff and the little mass approximation is removed. With residue theorem, the integral difficulty in the calculation of black hole entropy is overcome.     

Different Quantum Entropies for Two Kinds of Extreme Two-Dimensional Lowe-Strominger Black Holes

It is shown that both the classical entropy of two-dimensional extremal LoweStrominger black hole and the quantum entropy of the scalar field in the background of this black hole are different by using Hawking's treatment as wel as Zaslavskii's treatment respectively. This result supports our previous suggestion that there are two kinds of extreme black holes in the nature. A new divergent term emerges in the quantum entropy in Zaslavskii's treatment and its physical meaning has been discussed.     

Letter: Quantum Entropy of the Garfinkle-Horowitz-Strominger Dilaton Black Hole

Taking into account the effect of the generalized uncertainty principle on the equation of the density of the states, we calculate the entropy of the quantum scalar field inside the brick-wall of the Garfinkle-Horowitz-Strominger dilaton black hole. The entropy proportional to the event horizon area is obtained without any cutoff. Compared to the entropy from the outside of the brick-wall, the two results are similar. This implies that the quantum theory of gravity can remove the divergence of the state density on the event horizon and avoid the cut-off in the original brick-wall model.

Cosmological perturbations and quantum fields in curved space

We identify the quantum theory of cosmological perturbations with the quantum field theory in curved spacetime with emphasis on its field concept. We materialize this idea by using a coherent state as a quantum analogue of a nontrivial classical field configuration. We present analytic results in a de Sitter universe for the massless and massive minimal free scalar fields. Some new features on the spectrum of perturbations are obtained for the massive case. We also show how such quantum field theories can be derived from quantum gravity using the semiclassical approximation. A physical degree of freedom is picked up from three scalar perturbations in the quantum gravity scalar system and its Schrödinger equation is derived. Peculiar features of quantum fields at imaginary time and its possible implications on boundary conditions for the wave function of the universe are also discussed.     

Quantum corrections to the spectroscopy of a BTZ black hole via periodicity

Quantum corrections to the area spectrum and the entropy spectrum of a BTZ black hole are calculated by equaling the motion period of an outgoing wave coming from the quantum corrections of the semiclassical action to the period of gravitational system with respect to the Euclidean time. We find that the area spectrum and the entropy spectrum are independent of the properties of particles. Furthermore, in the presence of higher-order quantum corrections, the area spectrum is found to be corrected by inverse area terms while the entropy spectrum is found to have a universal form, $\varDelta S_{BH}=2\pi $ . Both results show that the entropy spectrum is independent of not only the BTZ black hole parameters but also the higher-order quantum corrections, which implies that the entropy spectrum is more natural than the area spectrum in quantum gravity theory.
