Abstract
In this paper we study the proposal present in Viaggiu (2017) concerning the statistical description of trapped gravitons and applied to derive the semi-classical black hole (BH) entropy SBH. We study the possible configurations depending on physically reasonable expressions for the internal energy U. In particular, we show that expressions for Uâ¼Rk,kâ¥1, with R the radius of the confining spherical box, can have a semi-classical description, while behaviors with k<1 derive from thermodynamic or quantum fluctuations. There, by taking a suitable physically motivated expression for U(R), we obtain the well known logarithmic corrections to the BH entropy, with the usual behaviors present in the literature of BH entropy. Moreover, a phase transition emerges with a positive specific heat C at Planckian lengths instead of the usual negative one at non-Planckian scales, in agreement with results present in the literature. Finally, we show that evaporation stops at a radius R of the order of the Planck length.
