Physics Group Meeting

Entropy Bounds

I will discuss the status of the controversial "entropy bounds" proposed by Bekenstein and Bousso, as well as the reinterpretation of these bounds by Casini and others which made them actually true in QFT.

Old View:

* Wall, arXiv:0901.3865 [review article, sections 1.3 & 5] (and references therein, especially Bousso, arXiv:hep-th/9905177, BFM, arXiv:hep-th/0305149)

New View:

* Casini, arXiv:0804.2182

* Blanco & Casini, arXiv:1309.1121

& 2 distinct interpretations of the Bousso bound in QFT, both true!

* BCFM, arXiv:1404.5635

* BFLW, arXiv:1404.5635
