Entropy of Constrained Gravitational Instanton
Wu Zhong Chao
Abstract
The seeds for quantum creations of universes are constrained gravitational instantons. For all compact constrained instantons with U(1) isometry, the period β of the group parameter τ is identified as the reciprocal of the temperature. If β remains a free parameter under the constraints, then the Euclidean action becomes the negative of the "entropy". As examples, we perform the calculations for the Taub-NUT and Taub-bolt-type models and study the quantum creation of the Taub-NUT universe.
