The Microcanonical Density of States and Causal Dynamical Triangulations

Brown and York's gravitational microcanonical density of states is extended to general spacetime dimension and shown to be dependent upon features of the 4 dimensional gravitational action for its interpretation. Black hole entropy is calculated from the density of states path integral in gener...
