Thermodynamics of Near-Extreme Black Holes
Don N. Page
The thermodynamics of nearly-extreme charged black holes depends upon the number of ground states at fixed large charge and upon the distribution of excited energy states. Here thr…
Subsystem Entropy Exceeding Bekenstein's Bound
Don N. Page
If Bekenstein's conjectured bound on the microcanonical entropy, S < 2 pi E R, is applied to a closed subsystem of maximal linear size R and excitation energy up through E, it can…
Defining Entropy Bounds
Don N. Page
Bekenstein's conjectured entropy bound for a system of linear size R and energy E, S < 2 pi E R, has counterexamples for many of the ways in which the "system," R, E, and S may be…
Huge Violations of Bekenstein's Entropy Bound
Don N. Page
Bekenstein's conjectured entropy bound for a system of linear size R and energy E, S < 2 pi E R, can be violated by an arbitrarily large factor, among other ways, by a scalar field…
Schwinger Pair Production via Instantons in Strong Electric Fields
Sang Pyo Kim, Don N. Page
In the space-dependent gauge, each mode of the Klein-Gordon equation in a strong electric field takes the form of a time-independent Schrödinger equation with a potential barrier.…
Can Quantum Cosmology Give Observational Consequences of Many-Worlds Quantum Theory?
Don N. Page
Although many people have thought that the difference between the Copenhagen and many-worlds versions of quantum theory was merely metaphysical, quantum cosmology may allow us to m…
