Geometry of the extreme Kerr black holes

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

Geometrical properties of the extreme Kerr black holes in the topological sectors of nonextreme and extreme configurations are studied. We find that the Euler characteristic plays an essential role to distinguish these two kinds of extreme black holes. The relationship between the geometrical properties and the intrinsic thermodynamics are investigated.
