Testing Holographic Principle from Logarithmic and Higher Order Corrections to Black Hole Entropy
Abstract
The holographic principle is tested by examining the logarithmic and higher order corrections to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of black holes. For the BTZ black hole, I find some disagreement in the principle for a holography screen at spatial infinity beyond the leading order, but a holography with the screen at the horizon does not, with an appropriate choice of a period parameter, which has been undetermined at the leading order, in Carlip's horizon-CFT approach for black hole entropy in any dimension. Its higher dimensional generalization is considered to see a universality of the parameter choice. The horizon holography from Carlip's is compared with several other realizations of a horizon holography, including induced Wess-Zumino-Witten model approaches and quantum geometry approach, but none of the these agrees with Carlip's, after clarifications of some confusions. Some challenging open questions are listed finally.

To appear in JHEP. The corrections in Sec.2 with those that follow are more clearly explained. Careful distingtion between the implications of my results to AdS/CFT and to the holograhic principle
