Proof of Bekenstein-Mukhanov ansatz in loop quantum gravity
arXiv:1609.07125 · doi:10.1142/S0217732316501716
Abstract
A simple proof of Bekenstein-Mukhanov(BM) ansatz is given within the loop quantum gravity(LQG) framework. The macroscopic area of an equilibrium black hole horizon indeed manifests a linear quantization. The quantum number responsible for this discreteness of the macroscopic area has a physical meaning in the LQG framework, unlike the ad hoc one that remained unexplained in BM ansatz.
