Entropy bounds in black hole physics, based on a wide variety of different approaches, have had a long and distinguished history. Recently the current authors have turned attention to uncollapsed systems and obtained a robust entropy bound…

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…

Through the consideration of spherically symmetric gravitating systems consisting of perfect fluids with linear equation of state constrained to be in a finite volume, an account is given of the properties of entropy at conditions in which…

The universal bound on specific entropy was originally inferred from black hole thermodynamics. We here show from classical thermodynamics alone that for a system at fixed volume or fixed pressure, the ratio of entropy to nonrelativistic…

Elaborating on a previous work by Marolf et al, we relate some exact results in quantum field theory and statistical mechanics to the Bekenstein universal bound on entropy. Specifically, we consider the relative entropy between the vacuum…

In a pair of recent articles [PRL 105 (2010) 041302 - arXiv:1005.1132; JHEP 1103 (2011) 056 - arXiv:1012.2867] two of the current authors have developed an entropy bound for equilibrium uncollapsed matter using only classical general…

Bekenstein has presented evidence for the existence of a universal upper bound of magnitude $2\pi R/\hbar c$ to the entropy-to-energy ratio $S/E$ of an arbitrary {\it three} dimensional system of proper radius $R$ and negligible…

Let $B$ be a spatial region of width $2R$ and $\Phi$ a Klein-Gordon wave packet localized in $B$ at time zero. We show the inequality $S \leq 2\pi R E$; here, $S$ is the entropy of $\Phi$ contained in a region $B$, and $E$ is the energy…

After a discussion on several limiting cases where General Relativity turns into less sophisticated theories, we find that in the correct thermodynamical and cosmological weak field limit of Einstein's field equations the entropy of the…

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 establish that unitarity of scattering amplitudes imposes universal entropy bounds. The maximal entropy of a self-sustained quantum field object of radius R is equal to its surface area and at the same time to the inverse running…

We provide a formulation and proof of the gravitational entropy bound. We use a recently given framework which expresses the measurable quantities of a quantum theory as a weighted sum over paths in the theory's phase space. If this…

We generalize the energy-entropy ratio inequality in quantum field theory (QFT) established by one of us from localized states to a larger class of states. The states considered in this paper can be in a charged (non-vacuum) representation…

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.…

Recently, we derived an improved universal upper bound to the entropy of a charged system $S \leq \pi (2E b-q^2)/ \hbar$. There was, however, some uncertainty in the value of the numerical factor which multiplies the $q^2$ term. In this…

Using the Euclidean path integral approach with functional methods, we discuss the $(g_{0} \phi^{p})_{d}$ self-interacting scalar field theory, in the strong-coupling regime. We assume the presence of macroscopic boundaries confining the…

By using the Jacobi metric of the configuration space, and assuming ergodicity, we calculate the Boltzmann entropy $S$ of a finite-dimensional system around a non-degenerate critical point of its potential energy $V$. We compare $S$ with…

Within an inherently classical perspective, there is always an unavoidable energy cost associated with the information deletion and this common lore is at the heart of the Landauer's conjecture that does not impose, per se, any relevant…

Motivated by the approach of random linear codes, a new distance in the vector space over a finite field is defined as the logarithm of the "surface area" of a Hamming ball with radius being the corresponding Hamming distance. It is named…

The universal entropy bound of Bekenstein is considered, at any strength of the gravitational interaction. A proof of it is given, provided the considered general-relativistic spacetimes allow for a meaningful and inequivocal definition of…
