Abstract

The entropy S of the horizon theta=pi/2theta = pi/2 of the Hawking wormhole written in spherical Rindler coordinates is computed in this letter. Using Padmanabhan's prescription,we found that the surface gravity of the horizon equals the proper acceleration of the Rindler observer. S is a monotonic function of the radial coordinate xixi and vanishes when xixi equals the Planck length. In addition, its expression is similar with the Kaul - Majumdar one for the black hole entropy, including logarithmic corrections in quantum gravity scenarios.
