| dc.description | The issue of black hole entropy is reexamined within a finite lattice framework along the lines of Wheeler, 't Hooft and Susskind, with an additional criterion to identify physical horizon states contributing to the entropy. As a consequence, the degeneracy of physical states is lower than that attributed normally to black holes. This results in corrections to the Bekenstein-Hawking area law that are logarithmic in the horizon area. Implications for the holographic entropy bound on bounded spaces are discussed. Theoretical underpinnings of the criterion imposed on the states, based on the `quantum geometry' formulation of quantum gravity, are briefly explained. | |
