Black holes as gases of punctures with a chemical potential: Bose-Einstein condensation and logarithmic corrections to the entropy

Black holes as gases of punctures with a chemical potential: Bose-Einstein condensation and logarithmic corrections to the entropy

We study the thermodynamical properties of black holes when described as gases of indistinguishable punctures with a chemical potential. In this picture, which arises from loop quantum gravity, the black hole microstates are defined by finite families of half-integers spins coloring the punctures, and the near-horizon energy measured by quasi-local …
