Thermodynamics in rotating anti-de Sitter black holes with massive scalar field in three dimensions

We investigated the tendency in the variations of CFT₂ when a rotating AdS₃ black hole changes because of the fluxes transferred by the scattering of a massive scalar field according to the anti-de Sitter (AdS)/conformal field theory (CFT) correspondence. The conserved quantities of the black hole are definitely constrained by the extremal condition. Moreover, the laws of thermodynamics provide a direction for the changes in the conserved quantities. Therefore, the black hole cannot be extremal under the scattering; this is naturally preferred. According to the relationship between the rotating AdS₃ black hole and dual CFT₂, we find that such changes in the black hole constrain the variations in the eigenstates of dual CFT₂. Furthermore, the tendency in the variations is closely related to the laws of thermodynamics.     

Thermodynamics of black holes in anti-de Sitter space

The Einstein equations with a negative cosmological constant admit black hole solutions which are asymptotic to anti-de Sitter space. Like black holes in asymptotically flat space, these solutions have thermodynamic properties including a characteristic temperature and an intrinsic entropy equal to one quarter of the area of the event horizon in Planck units. There are however some important differences from the asymptotically flat case. A black hole in anti-de Sitter space has a minimum temperature which occurs when its size is of the order of the characteristic radius of the anti-de Sitter space. For larger black holes the red-shifted temperature measured at infinity is greater. This means that such black holes have positive specific heat and can be in stable equilibrium with thermal radiation at a fixed temperature. It also implies that the canonical ensemble exists for asymptotically anti-de Sitter space, unlike the case for asymptotically flat space. One can also consider the microcanonical ensemble. One can avoid the problem that arises in asymptotically flat space of having to put the system in a box with unphysical perfectly reflecting walls because the gravitational potential of anti-de Sitter space acts as a box of finite volume.     

Accelerating black holes in anti-de Sitter universe

A physical interpretation of theC-metric with a negative cosmological constantΛ is suggested. Using a convenient coordinate system it is demonstrated that this class of exact solutions of Einstein’s equations describes uniformly accelerating (possibly charged) black holes in anti-de Sitter universe. Main differences from the analogous de Sitter case are emphasised. Dedicated to my academic teacher Prof. J. Bičák on the occasion of his 60th birthday.

Phase transitions for flat anti-de Sitter black holes

We reexamine the thermodynamics of anti-de Sitter (adS) black holes with Ricci flat horizons using the adS soliton as the thermal background. We find that there is a phase transition which is dependent not only on the temperature but also on the black hole area, which is an independent parameter. As in the spherical adS black hole, this phase transition is related via the adS/conformal-field-theory correspondence to a confinement-deconfinement transition in the large- N gauge theory on the conformal boundary at infinity.     

Abundant stable gauge field hair for black holes in anti-de Sitter space

We present new hairy black hole solutions of SU(N) Einstein-Yang-Mills (EYM) theory in asymptotically anti-de Sitter (AdS) space. These black holes are described by N+1 independent parameters and have N-1 independent gauge field degrees of freedom. Solutions in which all gauge field functions have no zeros exist for all N, and for a sufficiently large (and negative) cosmological constant. At least some of these solutions are shown to be stable under classical, linear, spherically symmetric perturbations. Therefore there is no upper bound on the amount of stable gauge field hair with which a black hole in AdS can be endowed.     

Asymptotically de Sitter and anti-de Sitter black holes with confining electric potential

We study gravity interacting with a special kind of QCD-inspired nonlinear gauge field system which earlier was shown to yield confinement-type effective potential (the “Cornell potential”) between charged fermions (“quarks”) in flat space-time. We find new static spherically symmetric solutions generalizing the usual Reissner-Nordström-de Sitter and Reissner-Nordström-anti-de Sitter black holes with the following additional properties: (i) appearance of a constant radial electric field (in addition to the Coulomb one); (ii) novel mechanism of dynamical generation of cosmological constant through the non-Maxwell gauge field dynamics; (iii) appearance of confining-type effective potential in charged test particle dynamics in the above black hole backgrounds.     

Gravitational quasinormal modes of static Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet anti-de Sitter black holes

In this paper, we describe quasinormal modes(QNMs) for gravitational perturbations of Einstein-GaussBonnet black holes(BHs) in higher dimensional spacetimes, and derive the corresponding parameters of such black holes in three types of spacetime(flat, de Sitter(d S) and anti-de Sitter(Ad S)). Our attention is concentrated on discussing the(in)stability of Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet Ad S BHs through the temporal evolution of all types of gravitational perturbation fields(tensor, vector and scalar). It is concluded that the potential functions in vector and scalar gravitational perturbations have negative regions, which suppress quasinormal ringing. Furthermore,the influences of the Gauss-Bonnet coupling parameter α, the number of dimensions n and the angular momentum quantum number l on the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet Ad S BHs quasinormal spectrum are analyzed. The QNM frequencies have greater oscillation and lower damping rate with the growth of α. This indicates that QNM frequencies become increasingly unstable with large α. Meanwhile, the dynamic evolutions of the perturbation field are compliant with the results of computation from the Horowitz and Hubeny method. Because the number of extra dimensions is connected with the string scale, the relationship between α and properties of Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet Ad S BHs might be beneficial for the exploitation of string theory and extra-dimensional brane worlds.     

Critical phenomena of regular black holes in anti-de Sitter space-time

In General Relativity, addressing coupling to a non-linear electromagnetic field, together with a negative cosmological constant, we obtain the general static spherical symmetric black hole solution with magnetic charges, which is asymptotic to anti-de Sitter (AdS) space-times. In particular, for a degenerate case the solution becomes a Hayward–AdS black hole, which is regular everywhere in the full space-time. The existence of such a regular black hole solution preserves the weak energy condition, while the strong energy condition is violated. We then derive the first law and the Smarr formula of the black hole solution. We further discuss its thermodynamic properties and study the critical phenomena in the extended phase space where the cosmological constant is treated as a thermodynamic variable as well as the parameter associated with the non-linear electrodynamics. We obtain many interesting results such as: the Maxwell equal area law in the \(P{-}V\) (or \(S{-}T\)) diagram is violated and consequently the critical point \((T_*,P_*)\) of the first order small–large black hole transition does not coincide with the inflection point (\(T_c,P_c\)) of the isotherms; the Clapeyron equation describing the coexistence curve of the Van der Waals (vdW) fluid is no longer valid; the heat capacity at constant pressure is finite at the critical point; the various exponents near the critical point are also different from those of the vdW fluid.     

Quasinormal frequencies of asymptotically anti-de Sitter black holes in two dimensions

We calculate exactly the quasinormal frequencies of Klein–Gordon and Dirac test fields propagating in 2D uncharged Achucarro–Ortiz black hole. For both test fields we study whether the quasinormal frequencies are well defined in the massless limit. We use their values to discuss the classical stability of the quasinormal modes in uncharged Achucarro–Ortiz black hole and to check the recently proposed Time Times Temperature bound. Furthermore we extend some of these results to the charged Achucarro–Ortiz black hole.     

Reissner–Nordström anti-de Sitter black holes and energy

We show that the tetrad field whose metric gives the Reissner–Nordström anti-de Sitter black holes gives the correct value of energy in Møller tetrad theory of gravitation.     

Entanglement entropy of black holes and anti-de Sitter space/conformal-field-theory correspondence

A recent proposal by Ryu and Takayanagi for a holographic interpretation of entanglement entropy in conformal field theories dual to supergravity on anti-de Sitter space is generalized to include entanglement entropy of black holes living on the boundary of anti-de Sitter space. The generalized proposal is verified in boundary dimensions d=2 and d=4 for both the uv-divergent and uv-finite terms. In dimension d=4 an expansion of entanglement entropy in terms of size L of the subsystem outside the black hole is considered. A new term in the entropy of dual strongly coupled conformal-field theory, which universally grows as L(2)lnL and is proportional to the value of the obstruction tensor at the black hole horizon, is predicted.     

Slowly rotating charged black holes in anti-de Sitter third order Lovelock gravity

In this paper, we study slowly rotating black hole solutions in Lovelock gravity (n = 3). These solutions are obtained in uncharged and charged cases, respectively. Up to the linear order of the rotating parameter a, the entropy and gyromagnetic ratio of black holes keep invariant after introducing the Gauss-Bonnet and third order Lovelock interactions.     

Cutoff anti-de Sitter space/conformal-field-theory duality and the quest for braneworld black holes

Significant evidence is presented in favor of the holographic conjecture that "4D black holes localized on the brane found by solving the classical bulk equations in AdS5 are quantum corrected black holes and not classical ones." The quantum correction to the Newtonian potential is computed using a numerical computation of in Schwarzschild spacetime for matter fields in the zero-temperature Boulware vacuum state. For the conformally invariant scalar field the leading order term is equivalent to that previously obtained in the weak-field approximation using Feynman diagrams and which has been shown to be equivalent, via the anti-de Sitter space/conformal-field-theory (AdS/CFT) duality, to the analogous calculation in Randall-Sundrum braneworlds. The 4D backreaction equations are used to make a prediction about the existence and the possible spacetime structure of macroscopic static braneworld black holes.     

Entropy spectrum of a Kerr anti-de Sitter black hole

The entropy spectrum of a spherically symmetric black hole was derived without the quasinormal modes in the work of Majhi and Vagenas. Extending this work to rotating black holes, we quantize the entropy and the horizon area of a Kerr anti-de Sitter black hole by two methods. The spectra of entropy and area are obtained via the Bohr–Sommerfeld quantization rule and the adiabatic invariance in the first way. By addressing the wave function of emitted (absorbed) particles, the entropy and the area are quantized in the second one. Both results show that the entropy and the area spectra are equally spaced.     

Thermodynamics of black holes

The thermodynamic approach is used to investigate the properties of black holes. The presence of surface gravitation makes it possible to introduce a coefficient of surface tension of black holes and capillary fluctuations of the horizon due to this surface tension; this makes it possible to find the temperature dependence of the surface entropy and the energy of the black holes. It is shown that there is a critical temperature at which a black hole explodes.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 9, pp. 34–36, September, 1977.Some further matters will be discussed in a following paper in collaboration with Professor D.

Interaction potential and thermo-correction to the equation of state for thermally stable Schwarzschild anti-de Sitter black holes

The microscopic structure of black holes remains a challenging subject. In this paper, based on the well-accepted fact that black holes can be mapped to thermodynamic systems, we make a preliminary exploration of the microscopic structure of the thermodynamically stable Schwarzschild anti-de-Sitter(SAdS) black hole. In accordance with the number density and thermodynamic scalar curvature, we give the interaction potential among the molecules of thermodynamically stable SAdS black holes and analyze its effectiveness. Moreover, we derive the thermo-correction to the equation of state for such black holes that arises from interactions among black-hole molecules using virial coefficients.
