Transplanckian Dispersion Relation and Entanglement Entropy of Blackhole

The quantum correction to the entanglement entropy of the event horizon is plagued by the UV divergence due to the infinitely blue-shifted near horizon modes. The resolution of this UV divergence provides an excellent window to a better understanding and control of the quantum gravity effects. We claim that the key to resolve this UV puzzle is the transplanckian dispersion relation. We calculate the entanglement entropy using a very general type of transplanckian dispersion relation such that high energy modes above a certain scale are cutoff, and show that the entropy is rendered UV finite. We argue that modified dispersion relation is a generic feature of string theory, and this boundedness nature of the dispersion relation is a general consequence of the existence of a minimal distance in string theory.Comment: 7 pages.

LpL^p regularity theory for even order elliptic systems with antisymmetric first order potentials

Motivated by a challenging expectation of Rivi\`ere (2011), in the recent interesting work of deLongueville-Gastel (2019), de Longueville and Gastel proposed the following geometrical even order elliptic system \begin{equation*} \Delta^{m}u=\sum_{l=0}^{m-1}\Delta^{l}\left\langle V_{l},du\right\rangle +\sum_{l=0}^{m-2}\Delta^{l}\delta\left(w_{l}du\right)\qquad \text{ in } B^{2m}\label{eq: Longue-Gastel system} \end{equation*} which includes polyharmonic mappings as special cases. Under minimal regularity assumptions on the coefficient functions and an additional algebraic antisymmetry assumption on the first order potential, they successfully established a conservation law for this system, from which everywhere continuity of weak solutions follows. This beautiful result amounts to a significant advance in the expectation of Rivi\`ere. In this paper, we seek for the optimal interior regularity of the above system, aiming at a more complete solution to the aforementioned expectation of Rivi\`ere. Combining their conservation law and some new ideas together, we obtain optimal H\"older continuity and sharp $L^p$ regularity theory, similar to that of Sharp and Topping \cite{Sharp-Topping-2013-TAMS}, for weak solutions to a related inhomogeneous system. Our results can be applied to study heat flow and bubbling analysis for polyharmonic mappings.Comment: 37 page
