The entropy of a scalar field in the background of a dilatonic black hole both in anti de Sitter and de Sitter spacetime has been calculated using brick wall method. The form of divergent contributions to the entropy is in agreement with the previous calculations in the literature. The semiclassical approach used here is straightforward and produces finite result apart from an ambiguity in logarithmic terms.

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 point out that the brick-wall model cannot be applied to the nonstatic black hole. In the case of a static hole, we propose a new model where the black hole entropy is attributed to the dynamical degrees of the field covering the two-dimensional membrane just outside the horizon. A cutoff different from the model of 't Hooft is necessarily introduced. It can be treated as an increase in horizon because of the space–time fluctuations. We also apply our model to the nonequilibrium and nonstatic cases, such as Schwarzschild–de Sitter and Vaidya space–times. In the nonstatic case, the entropy relies on a time-dependent cutoff.

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.
