Euclidean de Sitter action and entropy

ID: euclidean-de-sitter-action-and-entropy

In units , a smooth Wick rotation of the four-dimensional static patch of de Sitter spacetime has Euclidean time period . Its compact geometry is a round four-sphere of radius . The Einstein field equations give , and direct integration gives volume , hence gravitational Euclidean action . With zero assigned internal energy, gives Bekenstein-Hawking entropy .
