The holographic bound, $S<=A/4{\ell^2_P}$, asserts that the entropy $S$ of a system is bounded from above by a quarter of the area $A$ of a circumscribing surface measured in Planck areas. This bound is widely regarded as part of the…

The holographic bound asserts that the entropy $S$ of a system is bounded from above by a quarter of the area ${\cal A}$ of a circumscribing surface measured in Planck areas: $S\leq {\cal A}/4{\ell^2_P}$. This bound is widely regarded a…

Entropy plays a crucial role in characterization of information and entanglement, but it is not a scalar quantity and for many systems it is different for different relativistic observers. Loop quantum gravity predicts the…

It is pointed out that the entropy of a membrane which is quantized perturbatively around a background position of fixed radius in a black hole spacetime is equal to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy, if 1) the membrane surface is the horizon…

We discuss the relationship between holographic entropy bounds and gravitating systems. In order to obtain a holographic energy density, we introduce the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy $S_{\rm BH}$ and its corresponding energy $E_{\rm BH}$…

In general yes, but also not quite. It is known that if the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is replaced by some kind of generalized entropy, then the Bekenstein bound may be grossly violated. In this work, we show that this undesired violation…

A necessary condition for the validity of the holographic principle is the holographic bound: the entropy of a system is bounded from above by a quarter of the area of a circumscribing surface measured in Planck areas. This bound cannot be…

The non zero value of Planck constant $h$ underlies the emergence of several inequalities that must be satisfied in the quantum realm, the most prominent one being Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. Among these inequalities, Bekenstein bound…

The concept of black hole entropy is one of the most important enigmas of theoretical physics. It relates thermodynamics to gravity and allows substantial hints toward a quantum theory of gravitation. Although Bekenstein conjecture…

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…

Using the Bekenstein upper bound for the ratio of the entropy $S$ of any bounded system, with energy $E = Mc^2$ and effective size $R$, to its energy $E$ i.e. $S/E < 2\pi k R/\hbar c$, we combine it with the holographic principle (HP) bound…

The Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is a cornerstone of horizon thermodynamics but quantum effects correct it, while inequivalent entropies arise also in non-extensive thermodynamics. Reviewing our previous work, we advocate for a new entropy…

The aim of the present dissertation is to analyze the meaning of the entropy bounds of the holographic sector once tested for statistical ensembles of particles, in order to deeper investigate the nature of these constraints and their…

We aim to establish the holographic principle as a universal law, rather than a property only of static systems and special space-times. Our covariant formalism yields an upper bound on entropy which applies to both open and closed…

Some essential conceptual aspects that will fill some logical gaps of the frame to interpret the gravity as an entropic force was investigated, we focus on some crucial issues that didn't emphasized in Verlinde's original…

Entropy bounds have played an important role in the development of holography as an approach to quantum gravity, so in this article we seek to gain a better understanding of the covariant entropy bound. We observe that there is a possible…

Bekenstein's inequality sets a bound on the entropy of a charged macroscopic body. Such a bound is understood as a universal relation between physical quantities and fundamental constants of nature that should be valid for any physical…

If Bekenstein's conjectured bound on the microcanonical entropy, S < 2 pi E R, is applied to a closed subsystem of maximal linear size R and excitation energy up through E, it can be violated by an arbitrarily large factor by a scalar field…

The Bekenstein-Hawking entropy suggests that thermodynamics is an intrinsic ingredient of gravity. Here, we explore the idea that requirements of thermodynamic consistency could determine the gravitational entropy in other set-ups. We…
