Black Hole Entropy by the Brick-wall Method in Four and Five Dimensions With U(1) Charges

Year: 2001

Type: article

Abstract: Using the brick-wall method we compute the statistical entropy of a scalar field in a nontrivial background, in two different cases. These backgrounds are generated by four- and five-dimensional black holes with four and three U(1) charges respectively. The Bekenstein entropy formula is generally obeyed, but corrections are discussed in the latter case.
