Black Hole Entropy of IR Modified Hořava-Lifshitz Gravity in Quantum Statistics Perspective

Abstract

In this paper we investigate quantum statistical entropy for the Kehagias-Sfetsos black hole in IR modified Hořava-Lifshitz gravity by using t’ Hooft’s brick-wall method and generalized uncertainty principle method. By carefully calculating, we obtain the brick-wall entropy SBWM=A/4 and the generalized uncertainty principle entropy SGUP=A/96πγ. It is found if we view from quantum statistics, the brick-wall entropy and generalized uncertainty principle entropy may possibly is proportional to the event horizon area. This type area entropy is also justified by Wang et al. (Phys. Rev. D 81:083006, 2010). The study of the quantum statistical entropy may shed light on the understand of Hořava-Lifshitz gravity.
