引力理论中不受均分律约束的时空自由度的面密度

Surface Density of Spacetime Degrees of Freedom from Equipartition Law in theories of Gravity

T. Padmanabhan

摘要:

我表明,均分的原则,适用于面积元素的表面是在当地的戴维斯-Unruh温度平衡,允许一个确定的表面数密度的微观时空自由度在任何超纯不变的引力理论。与这些自由度相关的熵与理论的Wald熵相匹配。这个结果也允许人们以自然的方式将熵密度归因于时空。然后,通过取熵的极值,就可以得到理论的场方程。此外,当微观自由度处于局部热平衡时,体区域的时空熵位于其边界上。

英文摘要:

I show that the principle of equipartition, applied to area elements of a surface which are in equilibrium at the local Davies-Unruh temperature, allows one to determine the surface number density of the microscopic spacetime degrees of freedom in any diffeomorphism invariant theory of gravity. The entropy associated with these degrees of freedom matches with the Wald entropy for the theory. This result also allows one to attribute an entropy density to the spacetime in a natural manner. The field equations of the theory can then be obtained by extremising this entropy. Moreover, when the microscopic degrees of freedom are in local thermal equilibrium, the spacetime entropy of a bulk region resides on its boundary.
