BTZ Black Hole Entropy from Ponzano-Regge Gravity

Abstract

The entropy of the BTZ black hole is computed in the Ponzano-Regge formulation of three-dimensional lattice gravity. It is seen that the correct semi-classical behaviour of entropy is reproduced by states that correspond to all possible triangulations of the Euclidean black hole.Comment: 11 pages LaTeX, 3 eps figures, some minor clarifications added, result unchange
