Effect of interlayer tunneling in the double-layer fractional quantum Hall system at the total Landau level filling of $\nu=1/m$ ($m$: odd integer) is analyzed with the composite-fermion approach in which the flux attachment is directly…

The tunneling approach for entropy generation in quantum gravity is applied to black holes. The area entropy is recovered and shown to count only a tiny fraction of the black hole degeneracy. The latter stems from the extension of the wave…
