A note on gravity, entropy, and BF topological field theory
arXiv:1002.1035 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.81.084038
Abstract
In this note I argue that the expression for entropic force, used as a starting point in Verlinde's derivation of Newton's law, can be deduced from first principles if one assumes that that the microscopic theory behind his construction is the topological $\SO(4,1)$ BF theory coupled to particles.
