On one-loop renormalization of black-hole entropy

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-28 v2

Abstract

One-loop divergences appearing in the entropy of a quantum black hole are proven to be completely eliminated by the standard renormalization of both the gravitational constant and other coefficients by the R2R^2-terms in the effective gravitational action. The essential point of the proof is that due to the higher order curvature terms the entropy differs from the Bekenstein-Hawking one in the Einstein gravity by the contributions depending on the internal and external geometry of the horizon surface.
