Making use of the brick wall method, we investigate the energy density, entropy density, pressure, and state equation for a perfect relativistic gas with spin s = 1/2, 1, 3/2, 2 around a Horowitz–Strominger black hole (HSBH). We show that there exists an additional spin-dependent term in the expression of these thermodynamic quantities except the leading term which is the same as that in flat spacetime.

The brick-wall method put forward by 't Hooft has contributed a great deal to the understanding and calculating of the entropy of a black hole. However, there are some drawbacks in it such as little mass approximation, neglecting logarithm terms, and taking the term including L3 as a contribution of the vacuum surrounding the black hole. Moreover, the fundamental problem is why the entropy of scalar field or Dirac field surrounding a black hole is the entropy of the black hole itself. It is well known that the event horizon is the characteristic of a black hole. The entropy calculation of a black hole should be only related to its horizon. Due to this analysis, we improve the brick-wall model by taking that the entropy of a black hole is only contributed by a thin film near the event horizon. This improvement not only gives us a satisfied result, but also avoids the drawbacks in the original brick-wall method. It is found that there is an intrinsic relation between the event horizon and the entropy. We also calculate the entropy of Schwarzschild–de Sitter space–time via the improved method, which can hardly be resolved via the original model.

Starting from the Klein–Gordon equation, we calculate the entropy of Schwarzschild–de Sitter black hole in non-thermal-equilibrium by using the improved brick-wall method-membrane model. When taking the proper cutoff in the obtained result, we obtain that both black hole's entropy and cosmic entropy are proportional to the areas of event horizon. We avoid the logarithmic term and stripped term in the original brick-wall method. It offers a new way of studying the entropy of the black hole in non-thermal-equilibrium.

We study the bound of the noncommutativity parameter in the noncommutative Schwarzschild black hole which is a solution of the noncommutative ISO(3, 1) Poincaré gauge group. The statistical entropy satisfying the area law in the brick wall method yields a cutoff relation which depends on the noncommutativity parameter. Requiring both the cutoff parameter and the noncommutativity parameter to be real, the noncommutativity parameter can be shown to be bounded as Θ > 8.4 × 10-2lp.

The BTZ black hole geometry is probed with a noncommutative scalar field which obeys theκ-Minkowski algebra. The entropy of the BTZ black hole is calculated using the brick wall method. The contribution of the noncommutativity to the black hole entropy is explicitly evaluated up to the first order in the deformation parameter. We also argue that such a correction to the black hole entropy can be interpreted as arising from the renormalization of the Newton’s constant due to the effects of the noncommutativity.

AbstractWe rediscuss the entropy of a charged dilaton-axion black hole for both the asymptotically flat and non-flat cases by using the thin film brick-wall model. This improved method avoids some drawbacks in the original brick-wall method such as the small mass approximation, neglecting the logarithm term, and taking the term L 3 as the contribution of the vacuum surrounding the black hole. The entropy we obtain turns out to be proportional to the horizon area of the black hole, conforming to the Bekenstein-Hawking area-entropy formula for black holes.

Using the brick-wall method we compute the statistical entropy of a scalar field in a nontrivial background, in two different cases. These backgrounds are generated by four- and five-dimensional black holes with four and three U(1) charges respectively. The Bekenstein entropy formula is generally obeyed, but corrections are discussed in the latter case.

Using the method of quantum statistics, we directly derive the partition functions of bosonic and fermionic field in Kerr black hole with axial symmetry. Then via the improved brick-wall method for membrane model, we show that the entropy of the bosonic and fermionic field in the black hole is proportional to the area of the horizon. In our result, the stripped term and the divergent logarithmic term no longer exist. Hence the problem that the state density is divergent around the horizon doesn't exist. We also give the influence of the spining degeneracy of particles on the entropy of black hole. We offer a new simple and direct way of calculating the entropy of different complicated black holes.

Under nonspherical coordinates, the free energy and the entropy of a scalar field are calculated in terms of the brick-wall method on the background of a nonasymptotically flat cylindrical black hole. It is shown that the entropy is not only related to the area of an outer horizon but also function of inner horizon at nonasymptotically flat space–time, when a black hole has both inner and outer horizons. Further, the entropy expressed by location parameter of outer and inner horizons approaches zero, when the radiation temperature of a black hole approaches zero. It satisfies the Nernst theorem and can be taken as Planck absolute entropy of a black hole.
