Two Dimensional Conformal Symmetry and the Microscopic Interpretation of Black Hole Entropy
arXiv:hep-th/0403183
Abstract
In this thesis the research work, done by the author in the three years of his Ph.D. study, will be exposed. The role of two dimensional conformal field theories will be discussed. Different approaches will be studied in order to find a classical central charge in the Poisson algebra of the symmetry generators. In this way one can compute the black hole entropy using the Cardy formula. Being the central charge classical the computation is independent from a specific model of quantum theory of gravity. It will be shown eventually that the microscopic degrees of freedom of the black hole can be described by a free field and some considerations on a possible quantization of the theory will be made.
