The Bisognano-Wichmann Theorem for Charged States and the Conformal Boundary of a Black Hole
Roberto Longo
January 21, 2000
Recent applications of Operator Algebras to Quantum Field Theory on a Curved Spacetime show that the incremental entropy associated with a quantum black hole, due the addition of a short range charge, is quantized proportionally to the logarithm of an integer. This talk first reviews the case of a Rindler black hole and then sketches the case of a spacetime with bifurcate Killing horizon and charges localizable on the horizon. An important tool is the construction of the conformal symmetries on the horizon.
