Abstract
Black hole evaporation is investigated in a (1+1)-dimensional model of quantum gravity. Quantum corrections to the black hole entropy are co mputed, and the fine-grained entropy of the Hawking radiation is studi ed. A generalized second law of thermodynamics is formulated, and show n to be valid under suitable conditions. It is also shown that, in thi s model, a black hole can consume an arbitrarily large amount of infor mation.
