Causal Entropy Bound for Non-Singular Cosmologies
Ram Brustein, Stefano Foffa, Avraham E. Mayo
The conditions for validity of the Causal Entropy Bound (CEB) are verified in the context of non-singular cosmologies with classical sources. It is shown that they are the same con…
Black holes are one-dimensional
Jacob D. Bekenstein, Avraham E. Mayo
The holographic principle has revealed that physical systems in 3-D space, black holes included, are basically two-dimensional as far as their information content is concerned. Thi…
Why is the black hole entropy (almost) linear in the horizon area?
Gilad Gour, Avraham E. Mayo
We show that essentially pure classical thermodynamics is sufficient to determine Bekenstein's formula for the black hole's entropy, . We base our reasoning on the minimal as…
Can one increase the luminosity of a Schwarzschild black hole?
Avraham E. Mayo
We illustrate how Hawking's radiance from a Schwarzschild black hole is modified by the electrostatic self-interaction of the emitted charged particles. A W.K.B approximation shows…
The optimal entropy bound and the self-energy of test objects in the vicinity of a black hole
Avraham E. Mayo
Recently Bekenstein and Mayo conjectured an entropy bound for charged rotating objects. On the basis of the No-Hair principle for black holes, they speculate that this bound cannot…
Black hole polarization and new entropy bounds
Jacob D. Bekenstein, Avraham E. Mayo
Zaslavskii has suggested how to tighten Bekenstein's bound on entropy when the object is electrically charged. Recently Hod has provided a second tighter version of the bound appli…
Evidence for the adiabatic invariance of the black hole horizon area
Avraham E. Mayo
Some examples in support of the conjecture that the horizon area of a near equilibrium black hole is an adiabatic invariant are described. These clarify somewhat the conditions und…
No hair for spherical black holes: charged and nonminimally coupled scalar field with self--interaction
Avraham E. Mayo, Jacob D. Bekenstein
We prove three theorems in general relativity which rule out classical scalar hair of static, spherically symmetric, possibly electrically charged black holes. We first generalize…
