Entropy Product Formula for Gravitational Instanton [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances in High Energy Physics, 2017
We investigate the entropy product formula for various gravitational instantons. We speculate that due to the mass-independent features of the said instatons they are universal as well as quantized.

Cornering gravitational entropy [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics
We present a new derivation of gravitational entropy functionals in higher-curvature theories of gravity using corner terms that are needed to ensure well-posedness of the variational principle in the presence of corners.

From entropy to gravitational entropy

open access: yes, 2023
The concept of entropy forms the backbone of the principles of thermodynamics. R.C. Tolman initiated the correlation between gravity and thermodynamics. The development of black hole thermodynamics and the generalized second law of thermodynamics led to Penrose's conjecture that the Weyl tensor should serve as a measure of the entropy of the free ...

Entropy and topology for gravitational instantons [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review D, 1997
In this work a relation between topology and thermodynamical features of gravitational instantons is shown. The expression for the Euler characteristic, through the Gauss-Bonnet integral, and the one for the entropy of gravitational instantons are proposed in a form that makes the relation between them self-evident.

Generalized gravitational entropy of interacting scalar field and Maxwell field

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2014
The generalized gravitational entropy proposed recently by Lewkowycz and Maldacena is extended to the interacting real scalar field and Maxwell field system.

Revisit the entanglement entropy with gravitational anomaly [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2023
In this paper we study the entanglement entropy in the CFT2, whose gravity dual is AdS3 spacetime with a Chern-Simons term. Using the generalized Rindler method, we obtain the Rindler transformation in the two-dimensional planar CFT and compute the ...

Upper and lower bounds on gravitational entropy [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2008
The gravitational entropy of the Universe is large and subtle to calculate. A lower bound is well known from supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies, but the remainder is harder to pin down. A parametric model of clumped matter entropy is provided.

Gravitational Entropy of Black Holes and Wormholes [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Theoretical Physics, 2011
Pure thermodynamical considerations to describe the entropic evolution of the universe seem to violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics. This suggests that the gravitational field itself has entropy. In this paper we expand recent work done by Rudjord, GrØn and SigbjØrn where they suggested a method to calculate the gravitational entropy in black holes

Gravitational entropy in black hole transformations

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
There are several reasons to support the idea that entropy might be associated to gravity itself. In the absence of a quantum theory of gravity, classical estimators for the gravitational entropy have been proposed.
