Universal upper bound on the entropy-to-energy ratio for bounded systems
TLDR
For systems with negligible self-gravity, the bound follows from application of the second law of thermodynamics to a gedanken experiment involving a black hole as discussed by the authors, and it is shown that black holes have the maximum entropy for given mass and size which is allowed by quantum theory and general relativity.Abstract:
We present evidence for the existence of a universal upper bound of magnitude $\frac{2\ensuremath{\pi}R}{\ensuremath{\hbar}c}$ to the entropy-to-energy ratio $\frac{S}{E}$ of an arbitrary system of effective radius $R$. For systems with negligible self-gravity, the bound follows from application of the second law of thermodynamics to a gedanken experiment involving a black hole. Direct statistical arguments are also discussed. A microcanonical approach of Gibbons illustrates for simple systems (gravitating and not) the reason behind the bound, and the connection of $R$ with the longest dimension of the system. A more general approach establishes the bound for a relativistic field system contained in a cavity of arbitrary shape, or in a closed universe. Black holes also comply with the bound; in fact they actually attain it. Thus, as long suspected, black holes have the maximum entropy for given mass and size which is allowed by quantum theory and general relativity.read more

TL;DR: In this article, the concept of minimal length has been invoked in the Bekenstein entropy derivation, which is a direct consequence of the minimal length, should be taken into consideration in the entropic interpretation of gravity.

Statistical approaches and the Bekenstein bound conjecture in Schwarzschild black holes
TL;DR: In this article , it was shown that when we use important non-Gaussian entropies, like the ones of Barrow, Tsallis and Kaniadakis in order to describe the Schwarzschild black hole, then the Bekenstein bound conjecture seems to fail.

Tricritical quantum point and inflationary cosmology
TL;DR: In this article, the holographic protection due to inflationary cosmology is a consequence of a quantum tricritical point, and a closed spacetime solution transitions into an inflationary de Sitter spacetime.
