Statistical mechanics of a two-dimensional black hole

Abstract The dynamics of a nearly-AdS2 spacetime with boundaries is reduced to that of two particles in the anti-de Sitter space. We determine the class of physically meaningful wavefunctions, and prescribe the statistical mechanics of a black hole. We demonstrate how wavefunctions for a two-sided b...
