Common solutions vs. our proposed solutions andstrategy
Common solutions:1- Ad hoc “background subtraction”: resolves S→∞, not δS 6= 0; does notcorrectly reproduce some thermodynamics (consistency with the first law)
2- Add a Hamilton-Jacobi counter-term: resolves both; correct thermodynamics
Our speculation: polymerization may cure things. Even if not, any positiveeffect?
Two cases may happen by polymerization:1- It eliminates the need to add a boundary counter-term.2- It does not eliminate the counter-term but modifies it.In both cases what corrections to thermodynamics of the BH.
Strategy: analyze a simple toy model first.Several analog models with the same problems (half binding potential).One very simple one: particle in an inverse square potential.

Common solutions:1- Ad hoc “background subtraction”: resolves S→∞, not δS 6= 0; does notcorrectly reproduce some thermodynamics (consistency with the first law)2- Add a Hamilton-Jacobi counter-term: resolves both; correct thermodynamics
Our speculation: polymerization may cure things. Even if not, any positiveeffect?
Two cases may happen by polymerization:1- It eliminates the need to add a boundary counter-term.2- It does not eliminate the counter-term but modifies it.In both cases what corrections to thermodynamics of the BH.
Strategy: analyze a simple toy model first.Several analog models with the same problems (half binding potential).One very simple one: particle in an inverse square potential.

Take the first term. By EOM∂rΦ = e−Q(Φ).
If on ∂M we have ξ → const., we may assume δξ → 0.But if ξΦ→∞ →∞ on ∂M, we cannot assume δξ → 0. Then we should appealto general solutions and find the behavior of δξ. It turns out
δξ = eQ(Φ)δM
The first term on δS becomes ˆdτδM 6= 0
i.e. solutions do not extremize the action for generic variations δξ thatpreserve the boundary conditions on ξ.
