The Role of Renormalizable Quantum Gravity in Determining Cosmic Entropy

Recent research unveils that renormalizable quantum gravity's effective action correlates with the universe's entropy, shedding light on its origin and conservation laws. Ghost modes, essential for maintaining diffeomorphism invariance, play a pivotal role in generating entropy and shaping cosmic structures, emphasizing further exploration in this quantum framework.

Thermodynamic Constraints on Black Hole Entropy Modifications

Researchers propose that the Barrow entropy correction should be minimal to maintain thermodynamic stability in black holes, with potential exceptions at the Planckian regime. They demonstrate through theoretical analysis that the entropy correction must remain small to prevent black hole fragmentation, offering insights into entropy modifications and their implications for fundamental physics.
