Abstract

A scheme for calculating corrections to all orders to the entropy of any thermodynamic system due to statistical fluctuations around equilibrium has been developed. It is then applied to the BTZ black hole, AdS-Schwarzschild black Hole and Schwarzschild black Hole in a cavity. The scheme that we present is a model-independent scheme and hence universally applicable to all classical black holes with positive specific heat. It has been seen earlier that the microcanonical entropy of a system can be more accurately reproduced by considering a logarithmic correction to the canonical entropy function. The higher order corrections will be a step further in calculating the microcanonical entropy of a black hole.
