25 Sep 1993 | Journal: | Phys.Rev.Lett. 72 (1994) 957-960 | Subject: | gr-qc | Abstract: | The Euclidean black hole has topology $Re^2 imes {cal S}^{d-2}$. It is shown that -in Einstein’s theory- the deficit angle of a cusp at any point in $Re^2$ and the area of the ${cal S}^{d-2}$ are canonical conjugates. The black hole entropy emerges as the Euler class of a small disk centered at the horizon multiplied by the area of the ${cal S}^{d-2}$ there.These results are obtained through dimensional continuation of the Gauss-Bonnet theorem. The extension to the most general action yielding second order field equations for the metric in any spacetime dimension is given. | Source: | arXiv, gr-qc/9309026 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
