Generalized Uncertainty Principle and Black Hole Entropy of Higher-Dimensional de Sitter Spacetime

Recently, there has been much attention devoted to resolving the quantum corrections to the Bekenstein-- Hawking black hole entropy. In particular, many researchers have expressed a vested interest in the coetticient of the logarithmic term of the black hole entropy correction term. In this paper, we calculate the correction value of the black hole entropy by utilizing the generalized uncertainty prlnciple and obtain the correction term caused by the generalized uncertainty principle. Because in our calculation we think that the Bekenstein-Hawking area theorem is still valid after considering the generalized uncertainty principle, we derive that the coefficient of the logarithmic term of the black hole entropy correction term is positive. This result is different from the known result at present. Our method is valid not only for four-dimensional spacetimes but also for higher-dimensional spacetimes. In the whole process, the physics idea is clear and calculation is simple. It offers a new way for studying the entropy correction of the complicated spacetime.
