Black hole entropy from loop quantum gravity in higher dimensions

arXiv:1307.5029 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2013.09.043

Abstract

We propose a derivation for computing black hole entropy for spherical non-rotating isolated horizons from loop quantum gravity in four and higher dimensions. The state counting problem effectively reduces to the well studied 3+1-dimensional one based on an SU(2)-Chern-Simons theory, differing only in the precise form of the area spectrum.
