Upper Bound of Barrow Entropy Index from Black Hole Fragmentation

Abstract

Both classical and quantum arguments suggest that if Barrow entropy is correct, its index $\delta$ must be energy dependent, which would affect the very early universe. Based on thermodynamic stability that sufficiently large black holes should not fragment, we argue that Barrow entropy correction must be small except possibly at the Planckian regime. Furthermore, the fact that a solar mass black hole does not fragment implies an upper bound $\delta \lesssim O(10^{-3})$, which surprisingly lies in the same range as the bound obtained from some cosmological considerations assuming fixed $\delta$. This indicates that allowing $\delta$ to run does not raise its allowed value. We briefly comment on the case of Kaniadakis entropy.
