Thermodynamics of Quantum Isolated Horizons with model Hamiltonians
arXiv:1303.4829 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.88.024010
Abstract
Following a recent proposal, we consider the most general structure possible for the Hamiltonian operator associated with the Quantum Isolated Horizon(QIH) with explanations of the underlying physical motivations. An extensive thermodynamic analysis with this model Hamiltonian is presented. Considering {\it fixed} number of punctures, the canonical partition function can now be written in the usual energy ensemble. Arguing that the known classical results must follow in the correspondence limit (viz. the equilibrium temperature as observed by a local observer) the model is fixed, yielding the energy spectrum of the QIH.
