TITLE: Black Hole Thermodynamics: Then and Now
ABSTRACT:
Black hole thermodynamics started with the work of Bekenstein and Hawking in the early 1970's, interpreting the area of a black hole horizon as a form of entropy. This is a thermodynamic entropy which obeys a generalized second law of thermodynamics. In modern developments, a microscopic or fine-grained von Neumann entropy is increasingly important. Under unitary evolution, it is constant even though thermodynamic entropy may increase. A fundamental step in understanding fine-grained entropy in gravity was the Ryu-Takayanagi formula, discovered in 2006. In this lecture, I will review some of the old and new developments.
