Statistical Entropy of a Schwarzschild-anti-de Sitter Black Hole

We calculate the intrinsic entropy of a Schwarzschild black hole in an asymptotically antide Sitter space. The statistical calculation of the entropy is based on a model for particle structure that leads to confinement. The constituents of the particle are distinguishable quasiparticles. The entropy (temperature) is less (greater) than the entropy of a Schwarzschild black hole in an asymptotically flat space. The equilibrium thermodynamic states are described by pure states, myriotic fields, and the distinguishability of the internal microstates may provide a solution to the black hole information paradox by suggesting a Bose-Einstein condensate whereby the zero mass state is a limit point (or accumulation point) of condensates on the event horizon.
