From black hole thermodynamics, the Bekenstein bound has been proposed as a universal thermal entropy bound. It has been further generalized to an entanglement entropy bound which is valid even in a quantum system. In a quantumly entangled…
Black hole thermodynamics is the area of study that seeks to reconcile the laws of thermodynamics with the existence of black hole event horizons. Here we calculate the entropy corresponding to the interior of a Schwarzschild black hole for…
We show using the entropy function formalism developed by Sen \cite{Sen:2005wa} that the boundary term which arises from the Einstein-Hilbert action is sufficient to yield the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of a static extremal black hole which…
We consider a massive scalar field with arbitrary coupling in $\mathbf{S}^{1}\times \mathbf{S}^{3}$ space, which mimics the thermal expanding universe, and calculate explicitly all relevant thermodynamical functions in the low- and…
It is shown that adding hair like electric charge or angular momentum to the black hole decreases the amount of entropy emission. This motivates us to study the emission rate of entropy from black holes and conjecture a maximum limit (upper…
We propose a novel solution for the endpoint of gravitational collapse, in which spacetime ends (and is orbifolded) at a microscopic distance from black hole event horizons. This model is motivated by the emergence of singular event…
In a gedanken experiment in which a box initially containing energy $E$ and entropy $S$ is lowered toward a black hole and then dropped in, it was shown by Unruh and Wald that the generalized second law of black hole thermodynamics holds,…
Without pretending to any rigour, we find a general expression of the electrostatic self-energy in static black holes with spherical symmetry. We determine the entropy bound of a charged object by assuming the existence of thermodynamics…
We discuss entropy bounds for a class of two-dimensional gravity models. While the Bekenstein bound can be proved to hold in general for weakly gravitating matter, the analogous of the holographic bound is not universal, but depends on the…
Elementary particles of large spin $s$ store quantum information in degenerate states and therefore are subject to the Bekenstein entropy bound. We observe that for sufficiently large $s$ the bound is violated unless the particle acquires a…
We derive an approximate expression for the entropy of Hawking radiation filling a spherical box in stable thermodynamic equilibrium with the Schwarzschild black hole that produced the said radiation. The Bekenstein entropy bound is…
Entropy of all systems that we understand well is proportional to their volumes except for black holes given by their horizon area. This makes the microstates of any quantum theory of gravity drastically different from the ordinary matter.…
Bekenstein's conjectured entropy bound for a system of linear size R and energy E, S < 2 pi E R, can be violated by an arbitrarily large factor, among other ways, by a scalar field having a symmetric potential allowing domain walls, and by…
Assuming that the degrees of freedom of a black hole are finite in number and of fermionic nature, we naturally obtain, within a second-quantized toy model of the evaporation, that the Bekenstein bound is a consequence of the Pauli…
I argue that black hole entropy counts only those states of a black hole that can influence the outside, and attempt (with only partial success) to defend this claim against various objections, all but one coming from string theory.…
From the covariant bound on the entropy of partial light-sheets, we derive a version of Bekenstein's bound: S/M \leq pi x/hbar, where S, M, and x are the entropy, total mass, and width of any isolated, weakly gravitating system. Because x…
We show that a Rademacher expansion can be used to establish an exact bound for the entropy of black holes within a conformal field theory framework. This convergent expansion includes all subleading corrections to the Bekenstein-Hawking…
We conjecture the following entropy bound to be valid in all space-times admitted by Einstein's equation: Let A be the area of any two-dimensional surface. Let L be a hypersurface generated by surface-orthogonal null geodesics with…
It has been proposed that the entropy of any object must satisfy fundamental (holographic or Bekenstein) bounds set by the object's size and perhaps its energy. However, most discussions of these bounds have ignored the possibility that…
Here we briefly resume the idea, originally introduced in Phys. Rev. D 102, 106002 (2020), that the Bekenstein bound on entropy is a consequence of the fermionic nature of fundamental degrees of freedom, which arrange themselves to form…
