Gibbons-Hawking Entropy and BMN Strings

High Energy Physics - Theory 2026-05-27 v3

Abstract

We provide some up-to-date discussions related to cosmological event horizon and entropy of our universe, then introduce an intriguing idea that there may be a universal finite upper bound for entropy accessible to an observer in consistent theories of quantum gravity. We argue that the Berenstein-Maldacena-Nastase (BMN) strings provide a test of the idea. More speculatively, in an optimistic scenario, this also provides a possible estimate of the cosmological constant.
