Abstract
The thermodynamical one-loop entropy of a two-dimensional black hole in thermal equilibrium with the massless quantum gas is calculated. It is shown that includes the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy, evaluated for the quantum corrected geometry, and the finite difference of statistical mechanical entropies for the gas on the black hole and Rindler spaces. This result demonstrates in an explicit form that the relation between thermodynamical and statistical-mechanical entropies of a black hole is non-trivial and requires special subtraction procedure.
