Entropy of higher dimensional nonrotating isolated horizons from loop quantum gravity
Entropy of higher dimensional nonrotating isolated horizons from loop quantum gravity
In this paper, we extend the calculation of the entropy of the nonrotating isolated horizons in 4 dimensional spacetime to that in a higher dimensional spacetime. We show that the boundary degrees of freedom on an isolated horizon can be described effectively by a punctured $SO(1,1)$ BF theory. Then the …
