If simple entropy in the Bekenstein-Hawking area law for a Schwarzschild black hole is replaced with 'negative' quantum conditional entropy, which quantifies quantum entanglement, of positive-energy particles of the black hole relative to…
In this review we describe statistical mechanics of quantum systems in the presence of a Killing horizon and compare statistical-mechanical and one-loop contributions to black hole entropy. Studying these questions was motivated by attempts…
Questions about black holes in quantum gravity generally presuppose the presence of a horizon. Recently Carlip has shown that enforcing an initial data surface to be a horizon leads to the correct form for the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of…
We derive the statistical entropy of the Schwarzschild black hole by considering the asymptotic symmetry algebra near the $\cal{I^{-}}$ boundary of the spacetime at past null infinity. Using a two-dimensional description and the Weyl…

The decay rate for a black hole to decay nonperturbatively via tunneling is shown to be related to the Bekenstein-Hawking black hole entropy $S_{bh}$. This new physical interpretation of the black hole entropy was presented first in 1988 in…
We consider corrections to all orders in the Planck length on the quantum state density, and calculate the statistical entropy of the scalar field on the background of the Bardeen regular black hole numerically. We obtain the distribution…

Using the Sharma-Mittal entropy, we study some properties of the Schwarzschild and Schwarzschild-de Sitter black holes. The results are compared with those obtained by attributing the Bekenstein entropy bound to the mentioned black holes.…
We revisit the "brick wall" model for black hole entropy taking into account back-reaction effects on the horizon structure. We do so by adopting an evaporating metric in the quasi-static approximation in which departures from the standard…

It is usually stated that the information storing region associated with the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is enclosed by a sphere of diameter equal twice the Schwarzschild radius. We point out that this cannot apply to a quantum black hole.…
Recently it was proposed to explain the dynamical origin of the entropy of a black hole by identifying its dynamical degrees of freedom with states of quantum fields propagating in the black-hole's interior. The present paper contains the…
We present a statistical mechanical calculation of the thermodynamical properties of (non rotating) isolated horizons. The introduction of Planck scale allows for the definition of an universal horizon temperature (independent of the mass…
The modern notion of a black hole singularity is considered with reference to the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein's field equations of general relativity. A brief derivation of both the original and the modern line elements is given. The…
The statistical response of a Kerr black hole to incoming quantum radiation has heretofore been studied by the methods of maximum entropy or quantum field theory in curved spacetime. Neither approach pretends to take into account the…
Black holes are thermodynamic objects, but despite recent progress, the ultimate statistical mechanical origin of black hole temperature and entropy remains mysterious. Here I summarize an approach in which the entropy is viewed as arising…
The definition of entropy obtained for stationary black holes is extended in this paper to the case of non-stationary black holes. Entropy is defined as a macroscopical thermodynamical quantity which satisfies the first principle of…
