Guiding center quantization of a quantum Hall analog of Hawking radiation
Rodrigo Andrade e Silva, Ted Jacobson
We revisit the quantum Hall analog of Hawking radiation in which a Fermi sea of electrons occupying half of a plane, subjected to a quadrupolar electric potential, gives rise to an…
Entropy of causal diamond ensembles
Ted Jacobson, Manus R. Visser
We define a canonical ensemble for a gravitational causal diamond by introducing an artificial York boundary inside the diamond with a fixed induced metric and temperature, and eva…
Partition function for a volume of space
Ted Jacobson, Manus R. Visser
We consider the quantum gravity partition function that counts the dimension of the Hilbert space of a spatial region with topology of a ball and fixed proper volume, and evaluate…
The minus sign in the first law of de Sitter horizons
Batoul Banihashemi, Ted Jacobson, Andrew Svesko +1
Due to a well-known, but curious, minus sign in the Gibbons-Hawking first law for the static patch of de Sitter space, the entropy of the cosmological horizon is reduced by the add…
Thermodynamic ensembles with cosmological horizons
Batoul Banihashemi, Ted Jacobson
The entropy of a de Sitter horizon was derived long ago by Gibbons and Hawking via a gravitational partition function. Since there is no boundary at which to define the temperature…
Causal diamonds in 2+1 dimensional quantum gravity
Rodrigo Andrade e Silva, Ted Jacobson
We develop the reduced phase space quantization of causal diamonds in pure 2+1 dimensional gravity with a non-positive cosmological constant. The system is defined as the domain of…
