Subsystem Entropy Exceeding Bekenstein's Bound

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

If Bekenstein's conjectured bound on the microcanonical entropy, S < 2 pi E R, is applied to a closed subsystem of maximal linear size R and excitation energy up through E, it can be violated by an arbitrarily large factor by a scalar field having a symmetric potential allowing domain walls, and by the electromagnetic field modes in a coaxial cable.
