Black Hole Entropy and Renormalization
Jean-Guy Demers, Rene Lafrance, Robert C. Myers
Using a new regulator, we examine 't Hooft's approach for evaluating black hole entropy through a statistical-mechanical counting of states for a scalar field propagating outside t…
Black Hole Entropy without Brick Walls
J. - G. Demers, R. Lafrance, R. C. Myers
We present evidence which confirms a suggestion by Susskind and Uglum regarding black hole entropy. Using a Pauli-Villars regulator, we find that 't Hooft's approach to evaluating…
Gravity's Rainbow: Limits for the applicability of the equivalence principle
Rene Lafrance, Robert C. Myers
Limits for the applicability of the equivalence principle are considered in the context of low-energy effective field theories. In particular, we find a class of higher-derivative…
Flows for rectangular matrix models
Rene Lafrance, Robert C. Myers
Several new results on the multicritical behavior of rectangular matrix models are presented. We calculate the free energy in the saddle point approximation, and show that at the t…
What unitary matrix models are not?
Rene Lafrance, Robert Myers
We report results of two investigations of the double-scaling equations for the unitary matrix models. First, the fixed area partition functions have all positive coefficients only…
