Abstract

We find topological (charged) black holes whose horizon has an arbitrary constant scalar curvature 2k2k in Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz theory. Without loss of generality, one may take k=1,0k=1,0 and -1. The black hole solution is asymptotically AdS with a nonstandard asymptotic behavior. Using the Hamiltonian approach, we define a finite mass associated with the solution. We discuss the thermodynamics of the topological black holes and find that the black hole entropy has a logarithmic term in addition to an area term. We find a duality in Hawking temperature between topological black holes in Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz theory and Einstein's general relativity: the temperature behaviors of black holes with k=1,0k=1, 0 and -1 in Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz theory are respectively dual to those of topological black holes with k=1,0k=-1, 0 and 1 in Einstein's general relativity. The topological black holes in Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz theory are thermodynamically stable.
