Logarithmic corrections to black hole entropy from minimum-assumptions discretization

Abstract

We introduce here a general model, under agnostic and minimum assumptions, to uniquely find the entropy area law with a corresponding fixed logarithmic correction term. In this approach, the horizon is discretized into generic Planck-scale cells representing coarse-grained indistinguishable geometric structures, and it is just the statistical combinatorial counting that determines the form of the entropy terms. We highlight the role of the assumptions and their comparison with known models providing fixed logarithmic contributions to the entropy.
