Plenty of Nothing: Black Hole Entropy in Induced Gravity
V. P. Frolov, D. V. Fursaev
We demonstrate how Sakharov's idea of induced gravity allows one to explain the statistical-mechanical origin of the entropy of a black hole. According to this idea, gravity become…

Black Hole Entropy
Valeri Frolov
In the talk different definitions of the black hole entropy are discussed and compared. It is shown that the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy (defined by the response of the fre…

Eternal Black Holes and Quasilocal Energy
Valeri Frolov, Erik A. Martinez
We present the gravitational action and Hamiltonian for a spatially bounded region of an eternal black hole. The Hamiltonian is of the general form , where …
