Information Erasure and the Generalized Second Law of Black Hole Thermodynamics

We consider the generalized second law of black hole thermodynamics in the light of quantum information theory, in particular information erasure and Landauer’s principle (namely, that erasure of information produces at least the equivalent amount of entropy). A small quantum system outside a black hole in the Hartle-Hawking state is studied, and the quantum system comes into thermal equilibrium with the radiation surrounding the black hole. For this scenario, we present a simple proof of the generalized second law based on quantum relative entropy. We then analyze the corresponding information erasure process, and confirm our proof of the generalized second law by applying Landauer’s principle.     

Generalized Second Law of Thermodynamics in Extended Theories of Gravity

By employing the general expression for temperature associated with the apparent horizon of FRW universe and assuming a region of an expanding universe enclosed by the apparent horizon as a thermal system in equilibrium, we are able to show that the generalized second law of thermodynamics holds in Gauss-Bonnet and more general Lovelock gravities.     

Thermodynamics of Black Holes in Einstein-Maxwell-Gauss-Bonnet Theory

We study the black hole solution in Einstein-Maxwell-Gauss-Bonnet (EMGB) gravity theory with a cosmological constant in five dimension. It is a generalization of the Reissner-Nordström-de Sitter (RNdS) or RNAdS (Reissner-Nordström-Anti-de Sitter) black hole solutions (according as the cosmological constant is positive or negative) in the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (EGB) theory. We analyze the thermodynamic quantities of EMGB black hole and find a restriction involving the charge and the cosmological constant for the existence of an extremal black hole. Finally, Hawking-Page phase transition has been discussed for the present black hole.     

Generalized Second Law of Thermodynamics for?Interacting Dark Energy in the DGP Braneworld

In this paper, we investigate the validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics (GSLT) in the DGP braneworld when the universe is filled with interacting two fluid system: one in the form of cold dark matter and other is holographic dark energy. The boundary of the universe is assumed to be enclosed by the dynamical apparent horizon or the event horizon. The universe is chosen to be homogeneous and isotropic FRW model and the validity of the first law has been assumed here.     

Radiation Energy Flux and Radiation Power of Schwarzschild Black Hole

Applying the entropy density near the event horizon, we obtained the result that the radiation energy flux of the black hole is always proportional to the quartic of the temperature of its event horizon. That is to say, the thermal radiation of the black hole always satisfies the generalized Stefan–Boltzmann law. The derived generalized Stefan–Boltzmann coefficient is no longer a constant. When the cut-off distance and the thin film thickness are both fixed, it is a proportional coefficient which is related to the black hole mass, the kinds of radiation particles and space–time metric near the event horizon. In this paper, we have put forward a thermal particle model in curved space–time. By this model, the result has been obtained that when the thin film thickness and the cut-off distance are both fixed, the radiation energy flux received by observer far away from the Schwarzschild black hole is proportional to the average radial effusion velocity of the radiation particles in the thin film, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the observer and the black hole.     

Magnetic Extraction of Energy from Accretion Disc Around a Rotating Black Hole

An analytical expression for the jet power extracted from the disc (JPEFD) is derived based on an equivalent circuit in black hole magnetosphere with a mapping relation between the radial coordinate of the disc and that of unknown astrophysical load. It turns out that this JPEFD is comparable with two other JPEFDs derived in the Poynting flux and hydrodynamic regimes, respectively. In addition, the relative importance of this JPEFD relative to the Blandford-Znajek power is discussed. It is shown that the BZ power is generally dominated by the JPEFD except in some extreme cases. Furthermore, we show that the JPEFD derived in our model can be well fitted with the jet power of 3C 273.     

Energetic Argument for Bimodal Black Hole Accretion discs

Based on simple energetic considerations,we whow that two crucial ingredients of bimodal black hole accretion discs,namely the sonic point and the transition radius,can be determined from the disc constant parameters,Thus,we can further justify the model of bimodal discs containing thermal instability triggered transition.     

Thermodynamics and Statistics of Kerr-Gödel Black Hole

In this paper we consider Kerr-Gödel black hole and study thermodynamics and statistics. We analyze some important quantities such as free energy, specific heat, and partition function numerically. We compare thermodynamics entropy with statistics entropy and find agreement between them.     

Generalized Uncertainty Principle and the Quantum Entropy of Rotating Black Hole

The entropy of rotating Kerr-Newman-Kasuya black hole due to massive charged fields （bosons and fermions） is calculated by using the new equation of state density motivated by the generalized uncertainty relation. The result shows the entropy does not depend on the mass and the charge but the parameter A, the area A and the spin of the fields. Moreover, an improved approximation is provided to calculate the scalar entropy.     

Thermodynamics and Statistics of Gödel Black Hole with Logarithmic Correction

In this paper we consider Gödel black hole and study thermodynamics and statistics with logarithmic correction. We calculate some important quantities such as free energy, specific heat and partition function.     

Standing Rankine-Hugoniot Shocks in Black Hole Accretion Discs

We study the problem of standing shocks in viscous disc-like accretion flows around black holes. For the first time we parametrize such a flow with two physical constants, namely the specific angular momentum accreted by the black hole j and the energy quantity K. By providing the global dependence of shock formation in the j- K parameter space, we show that a significant parameter region can ensure solutions with Rankine-Hugoniot shocks; and that the possibilities of shock formation are the largest for inviscid flows, decreasing with increasing viscosity, and ceasing to exist for a strong enough viscosity. Our results support the view that the standing shock is an essential ingredient in black hole accretion discs and is a general phenomenon in astrophysics, and that there should be a continuous change from the properties of inviscid flows to those of viscous ones.     

Statistical-Mechanical Entropy of Garfinkle-Horowitz-Strominger Black Hole

Taking WKB approximation to solve the scalar field equation in the Garfinkle-Horowitz-Strominger (GHS) black hole spacetime, we can get the classical momenta. Substituting the classical momenta into state density equation corrected by the generalized uncertainty principle, we will obtain the number of quantum states with energy less than ω. It is convergent in the neighborhood of the horizon. Then, it is used to calculate the statistical-mechanical entropy of the scalar field in the GHS black hole spacetime. The calculation shows that the entropy is proportional to the horizon area.     

Gravitational Perturbation of Garfinkle-Horowitz-Strominger Dilaton Black Hole and Quasinormal Modes

We research gravitational perturbation of Garfinkle-Horowitz-Strominger dilaton black hole and its quasinormal modes by using WKB approach proposed by Schutz, Will, Iyer and Konoplya. The quasinormal frequency with different angular momentum l is calculated in this paper. Our results show that, as the charge parameter b increase, both the real part and the absolute value of imaginary part of quasinormal frequency also increase, which means that the effect of charge in Garfinkle-Horowitz-Strominger dilaton background spacetime lead to higher frequency gravitational wave and the quasinormal modes damp at a rapider rate.     

Effects of Magnetic Coupling of Temperature Profile of Black—Hole Accretion Disc

We propose a model of the magnetic coupling (MC) of a retating black hole(BH) with the surrounding accretion disc in order to study the radial temperature profile in the inner region of the disc,in which a linear map from the angular coordinate on the BH horizon to the radial coordinate on the thin disc is given by closed magnetic field lines.The MC power and torque are derived using a modified equivalent circuit.It is shown that the MC effects on the temperature profile are related intimately to the BH spin,resulting in the variation of the value and the position of the peak temperature.It turns out that the value range of the colour temperature of the disc is extended by the MC effects.     

Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics of the First and Second Kind: Averages and Fluctuations

We elaborate and compare two approaches to nonequilibrium thermodynamics, the two-generator bracket formulation of time-evolution equations for averages and the macroscopic fluctuation theory, for a purely dissipative isothermal driven diffusive system under steady state conditions. The fluctuation dissipation relations of both approaches play an important role for a detailed comparison. The nonequilibrium Helmholtz free energies introduced in these two approaches differ as a result of boundary conditions. A Fokker-Planck equation derived by projection operator techniques properly reproduces long range fluctuations in nonequilibrium steady states and offers the most promising possibility to describe the physically relevant fluctuations around macroscopic averages for time-dependent nonequilibrium systems.     

Coexistence of Two Mechanisms for Extracting Energy from a Rotating Black Hole

Evolution characteristics of a rotating black hole (BH) are discussed in coexistence of the Blandford-Znajek (BZ) process and the magnetic coupling (MC) process in the parameter space consisting of the BH spin and the power-law index of the magnetic field on the disc. The condition for the coexistence of the two energy mechanisms are derived by using the mapping relation between the angular coordinate on the BH horizon and the radial coordinate on the disc. It is shown that not only the two mechanisms can coexist, but also the power and the rate of change of BH entropy in the BZ process will dominate over those in the MC process, provided that the BH spin and the power-law index are great enough.     

Hawking Effect with Generalized Uncertainty Principle and Modified Dispersion Relations in de Sitter-Schwarzschild Black Hole

Although the tunneling approach is well established for black hole radiation, much works have been done to support the extension of this approach to more general situations. In this article the Parikh-Kraus-Wilczek tunneling proposal of black hole radiation is considered. The black hole thermodynamics and tunneling radiation are studied, based on both, the generalized uncertainty principle and the modified dispersion relation analysis. It is shown that entropy, temperature and the original Parikh-Kraus-Wilczek tunneling radiation calculation receives new corrections. it has been shown that the results of this two alternative approaches are identical if one uses the suitable expansion coefficients.     

Anomalies and Hawking Radiation of NUT-Kerr-Newman de Sitter Black Hole

Hawking radiation of NUT-Kerr-Newman de Sitter black hole is studied via anomalous point of view in this paper. The results show that the charged current and energy-momentum tensor fluxes, to restore gauge invariance and general coordinate covariance at the quantum level in the effective field theory, are exactly equal to those of Hawking radiation from the event horizon (EH) and the cosmological horizon (CH) of NUT-Kerr-Newman de Sitter black hole, respectively.     

The Generalized Second Law of Thermodynamics of?the?Universe Bounded by the Event Horizon and?Modified Gravity Theories

In this paper, we investigate the validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics of the universe bounded by the event horizon. Here we consider homogeneous and isotropic model of the universe filled with perfect fluid in one case and in another case holographic model of the universe has been considered. In the third case the matter in the universe is taken in the form of non-interacting two fluid system as holographic dark energy and dust. Here we study the above cases in the Modified gravity, f(R) gravity.
