Quantum dynamics of the Einstein-Rosen wormhole throat
Gabor Kunstatter, Jorma Louko, Ari Peltola
We consider the polymer quantization of the Einstein wormhole throat theory for an eternal Schwarzschild black hole. We numerically solve the difference equation describing the qua…
Local Approach to Hawking Radiation
Ari Peltola
We consider an approach to the Hawking effect which is free of the asymptotic behavior of the metric or matter fields, and which is not confined to one specific metric configuratio…
Gravitation and Thermodynamics: The Einstein Equation of State Revisited
Jarmo Makela, Ari Peltola
We perform an analysis where Einstein's field equation is derived by means of very simple thermodynamical arguments. Our derivation is based on a consideration of the properties of…
Entropy of Spacelike Two-Surfaces of Spacetime
J. Makela, A. Peltola
We argue that every finite piecewise smooth spacelike two-surface of spacetime possesses an entropy which is, in natural units, one quarter of its area. However, the thermodynamica…
Spacetime Foam Model of the Schwarzschild Horizon
Jarmo Makela, Ari Peltola
We consider a spacetime foam model of the Schwarzschild horizon, where the horizon consists of Planck size black holes. According to our model the entropy of the Schwarzschild blac…
