We derive exact relations to all orders in the $\alpha'$ expansion for the charges of a bound system of heterotic strings, solitonic 5-branes and, optionally, a Kaluza-Klein monopole. The expressions, which differ from those of the…

We use equivariant localization to construct off-shell entropy functions for supersymmetric black holes in $\mathcal{N}=2$, $D=4$ gauged supergravity coupled to matter. This allows one to compute the black hole entropy without solving the…
The results of canonical quantum gravity concerning geometric operators and black hole entropy are beset by an ambiguity labelled by the Immirzi parameter. We use a result from classical gravity concerning the quasinormal mode spectrum of a…
The connection between black hole thermodynamics and chemistry is extended to the lower-dimensional regime by considering the rotating and charged BTZ metric in the $(2+1)$-D and a $(1+1)$-D limits of Einstein gravity. The Smarr relation is…

Various approaches to black hole entropy yield the area law with logarithmic corrections, many involving a coefficient 1/2, and some involving 3/2. It is pointed out here that the standard quantum geometry formalism is not consistent with…
By analysing the infinite dimensional midisuperspace of spherically symmetric dust universes, and aply it to collapsing dust stars, one finds that the general quantum state is a bound state. This leads to discrete spectrum. In the case of a…
We study a holographic construction of quantum rotating BTZ black holes that incorporates the exact backreaction from strongly coupled quantum conformal fields. It is based on an exact four-dimensional solution for a black hole localized on…
The renormalization of entanglement entropy of quantum field theories is investigated in the simplest setting with a $\lambda \phi^4$ scalar field theory. The 3+1 dimensional spacetime is separated into two regions by an infinitely flat…
The spectrum of the area operator for a Schwarzschild black hole in loop quantum gravity is fixed by the demand that the entropy of a black hole is maximum. This paper has been withdrawn by the author, due a crucial error in the derivation.
In the dimensionally reduced model of the 2+1 dimensional cosmological massive gravity, we obtain the central charges of the two types of the black hole based on the entropy function method. One is for the BTZ black hole and the other one…
We semi-classically calculate the entropy of a scalar field in the background of the BTZ black hole, and derive the perimeter law of the entropy. The proper length from the horizon to the ultraviolet cutoff is independent of both the mass…
In the framework of thermal quantization of radial geodesics completely confined behind the horizons we calculate the entropy of BTZ black hole in agreement with the Bekenstein--Hawking relation. Particles in the BTZ black hole occupy the…
We apply the Wald formalism to obtain masses and angular momenta of black holes in three dimensional gravity theories using the first order formalism. Wald formalism suggests that the entropy of a black hole can be defined by an integration…
We study the relative entropy of highly excited quantum states. First, we sample states from the Wishart ensemble and develop a large-N diagrammatic technique for the relative entropy. The solution is exactly expressed in terms of…
When the boundary dynamics of \(AdS_3\) gravity is governed by the collective field theory Hamiltonian proposed by Jevicki and Sakita, its asymptotic symmetry algebra becomes the centerless \(U(1)\) Kac-Moody algebra. We quantize this…
We derive an exact formula for the dimensionality of the Hilbert space of the boundary states of SU(2) Chern-Simons theory, which, according to the recent work of Ashtekar et al, leads to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of a four dimensional…
Using Wilsonian procedure (renormalization group improvement) we discuss the finite quantum corrections to black hole entropy in renormalizable theories. In this way, the Wilsonian black hole entropy is found for GUTs (of asymptotically…
As early as 1902, Gibbs pointed out that systems whose partition function diverges, e.g. gravitation, lie outside the validity of the Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) theory. Consistently, since the pioneering Bekenstein-Hawking results, physically…
