Abstract

We calculate the logarithmic correction to the entropy of asymptotically flat and AdS black holes (rotating, non-rotating, charged, and uncharged) embedded in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton (EMD) theories with U(1)U(1)-charged. The leading quantum gravitational corrections are achieved in both extremal and non-extremal limits of black hole temperature by designing a common Euclidean gravity setup that evaluates the "logarithmic term" from one-loop effective actions via heat kernel method-based calculations. EMD theories are universal building blocks of compactified string theory or supergravity models in 4D. For a concrete example, we generalize the entire setup and calculate logarithmic corrections for black holes in U(1)2U(1)^2-charged EMD models intersecting with N=4\mathcal{N}=4 ungauged and gauged bosonic supergravity. In contrast to flat backgrounds, all the AdS4_4 results are found to be non-topological, providing a wider "infrared window" into the microscopic degrees of freedom of black holes in string theory.
