Power Law Corrections to BTZ Black Hole Entropy

High Energy Physics - Theory 2014-11-17 v3 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

We study the quantum scalar field in the background of BTZ black hole and evaluate the entanglement entropy of the non-vacuum states. The entropy is proportional to the area of event horizon for the ground state, but the area law is violated in the case of non-vacuum states (first excited state and mixed states) and the corrections scale as power law.
