 | Curved space, monsters and black hole entropy Speaker(s): Stephen Hsu
Abstract: I discuss a class of compact objects ('monsters') with more entropy than a black hole of the same ADM mass. Such objects are problematic for AdS/CFT duality and the conventional interpretation of black hole entropy as counting of microstates. Nevertheless, monster initial data can be constructed in semi-classical general relativity without requiring large curvatures or energy densities.
