BTZ Black Hole Entropy from Ponzano-Regge Gravity
V. Suneeta, R. K. Kaul, T. R. Govindarajan
The entropy of the BTZ black hole is computed in the Ponzano-Regge formulation of three-dimensional lattice gravity. It is seen that the correct semi-classical behaviour of entropy…

Chern-Simons Theory, Knot Invariants, Vertex Models and Three-manifold Invariants
Romesh K. Kaul
Chern-Simons theories, which are topological quantum field theories, provide a field theoretic framework for the study of knots and links in three dimensions. These are rare exampl…

Quantum Black Hole Entropy
Romesh K. Kaul, Parthasarathi Majumdar
We derive an exact formula for the dimensionality of the Hilbert space of the boundary states of SU(2) Chern-Simons theory, which, according to the recent work of Ashtekar et al, l…
