Methods of quantum field theory in general relativity and gravitational theory (83C47) Black holes (83C57)

Abstract: A black hole considered as a part of a thermodynamical system possesses the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy $S_H=A_H/(4l_{mboxscriptsizeP}^2)$, where $A_H$ is the area of a black hole surface and $l_{,mboxscriptsizeP}$ is the Planck length. Recent attempts to connect this entropy with dynamical degrees of freedom of a black hole generically did not provide the universal mechanism which allows one to obtain this exact value. We discuss the relation between the 'dynamical' contribution to the entropy and $S_H$, and show that the universality of $S_H$ is restored if one takes into account that the parameters of the internal dynamical degrees of freedom as well as their number depends on the black hole temperature.
