Quantum Gravity and Black Hole Entropy
Abstract
Description
The basic features of a quantum field theory which is Poincaré invariant, gauge invariant, finite and unitary to all orders of perturbation theory are reviewed. Quantum gravity is finite and unitary to all orders of perturbation theory. The Bekenstein-Hawking entropy formula for a black hole is investigated in a conical Rindler space approximation to a black hole event horizon. A renormalization of the gravitational coupling constant is performed leading to a finite Bekenstein-Hawking entropy at the horizon.
