Thermodynamics of scalar fields in Kerr's geometry

Abstract

The one-loop contributions to the entropy for a massive scalar field in a Kerr black hole are investigated using an approximation of the metric, which, after a conformal transformation, permits to work in a Rindler-like spacetime. Of course, as for the Schwarzschild case, the entropy is divergent in the proximity of the event horizon.
