WILSONIAN BLACK HOLE ENTROPY IN QUANTUM GRAVITY
Using the Wilsonian procedure (renormalization group improvement) we discuss the finite quantum corrections to black hole entropy in renormalizable theories. In this way, the Wilsonian black hole entropy is found for GUT’s (of asymptotically free form, in particular) and for the effective theory for the conformal factor aiming to describe quantum gravity in the infrared region. The off-critical regime (where the coupling constants are running) for the effective theory for the conformal factor in quantum gravity (with or without torsion) is explicitly constructed. The corresponding renormalization group equations for the effective couplings are found using the Schwinger-DeWitt technique for the calculation of the divergences of the fourth order operator.
