Entropy of Vaidya-deSitter Spacetime

Abstract

As a statistical model of black hole entropy, the brick-wall method based on the thermal equilibrium in a large scale cannot be applied to the cases out of equilibrium, such as the non-static hole or the case with two horizons. However, the leading term of hole entropy called the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy comes from the contribution of the field near the horizon. According to this idea, the entropy of Vaidya-deSitter spacetime is calculated. A difference from the static case is that the result proportional to the area of horizon relies on a time-dependent cut-off. The condition of local equilibrium near the horizon is used as a working postulate.
