Effective Field Theory, Black Holes, and the Cosmological Constant
Bekenstein has proposed the bound $S\ensuremath{\le}\ensuremath{\pi}{M}_{P}^{2}{L}^{2}$ on the total entropy $S$ in a volume ${L}^{3}$. This nonextensive scaling suggests that quantum field theory breaks down in large volume. To reconcile this breakdown with the success of local quantum field theory in describing observed particle phenomenology, we propose a relationship between …
