Thermodynamical interpretation of the geometrical variables associated with null surfaces
Sumanta Chakraborty, T. Padmanabhan
The emergent gravity paradigm interprets gravitational field equations as describing the thermodynamic limit of the underlying statistical mechanics of microscopic degrees of freed…
A quantum peek inside the black hole event horizon
Sumanta Chakraborty, Suprit Singh, T. Padmanabhan
We solve the Klein-Gordon equation for a scalar field, in the background geometry of a dust cloud collapsing to form a black hole, everywhere in the (1+1) spacetime: that is, both…
A Boundary Term for the Gravitational Action with Null Boundaries
Krishnamohan Parattu, Sumanta Chakraborty, Bibhas Ranjan Majhi +1
Constructing a well-posed variational principle is a non-trivial issue in general relativity. For spacelike and timelike boundaries, one knows that the addition of the Gibbons-Hawk…
