Result: for a class of theories both depend on the geometry in the same way, and can be made equal by a choice of scale

• – Bifurcating Killing Horizon:

d-1 space-like surface @ intersection of two KH’s (d = D-1=# of space dimensions)– Killing vector vanishes on the surface

The field redefinition method for evaluating Wald’s entropy

• The idea (Jacobson, Kang, Myers, gr-qc/9312023)– Make a field redifinition

– Simplify the action (for example to Einstein’s GR)

• Conditions for validity– The Killing horizons, bifurcation surface, and asymptotic

structure are the same before and after

– Guaranteed when ab is constructed from the original metric and matter fields Lab= 0 and ab vanishes sufficiently rapidly

ab ab ab abg g g

A more2 complicated Example:

For a1=0 Weyl transformation

is the metric in the subspace normal to the horizon

The entanglement interpretation:

• The statistical properties of space-times with causal boundaries arise because classical observers in them have access only to a part of the whole quantum state trace over the classically inaccessible DOF

( “Microstates are due to entanglement” )

• The fundamental physical objects describing the physics of space-times with causal boundaries are their global quantum state and the unitary evolution operator.

( “Entropy is in the eyes of the beholder” )

The entanglement interpretation:• Properties:

–Observer dependent–Area scaling–UV sensitive–Depends on the matter content, # of fields …,

Relating Wald’s entropy to Entanglement entropy

• Wald’s entropy is an area for some metric or related to the area by a multiplicative factor– So far: have been able to show this for theories that can

be brought to Einstein’s by a metric redefinition equivalent to a conformal rescaling in the r-t plane on the horizon.

• Entanglement entropy scales as the area • Changes in the minimal length account for the

differences


• Example : more complicated matter action– Changes in the matter action do not change

Wald’s entropy– Changes in the matter action do not change the

entanglement entropy (as long as the matter kinetic terms start with a canonical term).

• Example : theories that can be related by a Weyl transformation to Einstein + (conformal) matter

Summary

1. Wald’s entropy is consistent with entanglement entropy

2. Wald’s entropy is (sometimes) an area (for some metric) or related to the area by a multiplicative factor

3. BH Entropy can be interpreted as entanglement entropy (not a correction!)
