Kerr and Kerr-AdS black shells and black hole entropy

As an operational approach to the Bekenstein-Hawking formula S_{BH}=A/4l_{Pl}^{2} for the black hole entropy, we consider the reversible contraction of a spinning thin shell to its event horizon and find that its thermodynamic entropy approaches $S_{\mathrm{BH}}$. In this sense the shell, called a &...
