%0 Journal Article %T Electromagnetic fields in Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordstr£żm geometry. Quantum corrections to the black hole entropy %A Guido Cognola %A Paola Lecca %J Physics %D 1997 %I arXiv %R 10.1103/PhysRevD.57.1108 %X Using standard coordinates, the Maxwell equations in the Reissner-Nordstr\"om geometry are written in terms of a couple of scalar fields satisfying Klein-Gordon like equations. The density of states is derived in the semi-classical approximation and the first quantum corrections to the black hole entropy is computed by using the brick-wall model. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9706065v1
