Entropy of extreme three-dimensional charged black holes

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

It is shown that three-dimensional charged black holes can approach the extreme state at nonzero temperature. Unlike even dimensional cases, the entropy for the extreme three-dimensional charged black hole is uniquely described by the Bekenstein-Hawking formula, regardless of different treatments of preparing the extreme black hole, namely, Hawking's treatment and Zaslavskii's treatment.
