Black hole motion in Euclidean space as a diffusion process
A diffusion equation for a black hole is derived from the Bunster-Carlip
equations. Its solution has the standard form of a Gaussian distribution. The
second moment of the distribution determines the quantum of black hole area.
The entropy of diffusion process is the same, apart from the logarithmic
corrections, as the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy.Comment: 6 pages, no figures; v.2: a mistake in deriving of the diffusion
equation corrected; a relation between the entropy of diffusion process and
the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy correcte
