Normal modes of the stretched horizon: a bulk mechanism for black hole microstate level spacing

Abstract In 1984, ’t Hooft famously used a brickwall (aka stretched horizon) to compute black hole entropy up to a numerical pre-factor. This calculation is sometimes interpreted as due to the entanglement of the modes across the horizon, but more operationally, it is simply an indirect count of the...
