Topological derivation of Black Hole entropy by analogy with a chain   polymer
  The generic crease set of an event horizon possesses anisotropic structure though most of black holes are dynamically stable. This fact suggests that a generic almost spherical black hole has a very crumpled crease set in a microscopic scale though the crease set is similar to a point-wise crease set in a macroscopic scale. In the present article, we count the number of such micro-states of an almost spherical black hole by analogy with an elastic chain polymer. This estimation of black hole entropy reproduces the well-known Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of a Schwarzschild black hole.
