Black Holes, Space-Filling Chains and Random Walks

الأصل · EN

Many approaches to a semiclassical description of gravity lead to an integer black hole entropy. In four dimensions this implies that the Schwarzschild radius obeys a formula which describes the distance covered by a Brownian random walk. For the higher-dimensional Schwarzschild-Tangherlini black hole, its radius relates similarly to a fractional Brownian walk. We propose a possible microscopic explanation for these random walk structures based on microscopic chains which fill the interior of the black hole.
