Quantum gravity in 2+1 dimensions with a positive cosmological constant can be represented as an SL(2,C) Chern-Simons gauge theory. The symmetric vacuum of this theory is a degenerate configuration for which the gauge fields and spacetime…
In this paper we show that the entropy of cosmological horizon in 4-dimensional Topological Kerr-Newman-de Sitter spaces can be described by the Cardy-Verlinde formula, which is supposed to be an entropy formula of conformal field theory in…
Anti-de Sitter space with identified points give rise to black-hole structures. This was first pointed out in three dimensions, and generalized to higher dimensions by Aminneborg et al. In this paper, we analyse several aspects of the five…
It is generally believed the way to resolve the black hole information paradox in string theory is to embed the black hole in anti-deSitter spacetime -- without of course claiming that Schwarzschild-AdS is a realistic spacetime. Here we…
We propose an effective model for an exponentially expanding universe in the brane-world scenario. The setup consists of a 5D black hole and a brane close to the black hole horizon. In case the brane acquires a specific configuration, which…
Christodoulou and Rovelli have shown that the maximal interior volume of a Schwarzschild black hole linearly grows with time. Recently, their conclusion has been extended to the Reissner{-}Nordstr$\ddot{\text{o}}$m and Kerr black holes.…
We aim to provide a microscopic explanation of observed 4D black holes based on the compactification of 5D Einstein gravity plus a positive cosmological constant on a circle. The framework of the dimensional reduction in this work allows us…
The Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of BPS black holes can be obtained as the minimum of the mass (= largest central charge). In this letter we investigate the analog procedure for the matrix model of M-theory. Especially we discuss the…
A quantum deformation of three-dimensional de Sitter space was proposed in hep-th/0407188. We use this to calculate the entropy of Kerr-de Sitter space, using a canonical ensemble, and find agreement with the semiclassical result.
Using the quasi-normal modes frequency of near extremal Schwarzschild-de Sitter black holes, we obtain area and entropy spectrum for black hole horizon. By using Boher-Sommerfeld quantization for an adiabatic invariant $I=\int {dE\over…

In the talk different definitions of the black hole entropy are discussed and compared. It is shown that the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy $S^{BH}$ (defined by the response of the free energy of a system containing a black hole on the change…
We propose a novel prescription for computing the boundary stress tensor and charges of asymptotically de Sitter (dS) spacetimes from data at early or late time infinity. If there is a holographic dual to dS spaces, defined analogously to…
We show that the entropy of any black object in any dimension can be understood as the entropy of a highly excited string on the stretched horizon. The string has a gravitationally renormalized tension due to the large redshift near the…
