We consider a boson gas on the stretched horizon of the Schwartzschild and Kerr black holes. It is shown that the gas is in a Bose-Einstein condensed state with the Hawking temperature $T_c=T_H$ if the particle number of the system be equal…
The coupling of a Nambu-Goto string to gravity allows for Schwarzschild black holes whose entropy to area relation is $S=(A/4)(1-4\mu)$, where $\mu$ is the string tension. The departure from $A/4$ universality results from a string…
I argue that black hole entropy counts only those states of a black hole that can influence the outside, and attempt (with only partial success) to defend this claim against various objections, all but one coming from string theory.…
We provide a new regular black hole solution (RBH) in Einstein Gauss-Bonnet (EGB) gravity with localized sources of matter in the energy--momentum tensor. We determine the necessary constraints in order for the solution to be regular.…
We search for a universal property of quantum gravity. By "universal", we mean the independence from any existing model of quantum gravity (such as the super string theory, loop quantum gravity, causal dynamical triangulation, and so on).…
The basic equations of the thermodynamic system give the relationship between the internal energy, entropy and volume of two neighboring equilibrium states. By using the functional relationship between the state parameters in the basic…
We study thermodynamics of black holes in the deformed Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity with coupling constant $\lambda$. For $\lambda=1$, the black hole behaves the Reissner-Norstr\"om black hole. Hence, this is different from the Schwarzschild…
In this report, a general method to extract thermodynamic quantities from solutions of the Einstein equation is developed. In 1994, Wald established that the entropy of a black hole could be identified as a Noether charge associated with a…
Black hole physics currently lacks a fully coherent understanding of the black hole mass (density), entropy, and interior (non-)singularity. These concepts are related to the black hole radius, area (of the horizon), and volume (within the…
While the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is the unique notion of entropy that makes classical black hole thermodynamics consistent, alternative entropy notions (R\'enyi, Tsallis, and generalized constructs) abound in the literature. We explore…
Bekenstein has presented evidence for the existence of a universal upper bound of magnitude $2\pi R/\hbar c$ to the entropy-to-energy ratio $S/E$ of an arbitrary {\it three} dimensional system of proper radius $R$ and negligible…
In black hole physics, the second law of thermodynamics is generally valid whether the black hole is a static or a non-static one. Considering the universe as a thermodynamical system the second law of black hole dynamics extends to the…
We investigate the thermodynamics of Schwarzschild-Tangherlini black hole in the context of the generalized uncertainty principle. The corrections to the Hawking temperature, entropy and the heat capacity are obtained via the modified…
We formulate the classical gravitational entropy of a horizon as a Noether charge that does not require the notion of a temperature, and which is applicable to horizons that are not necessarily associated with black holes. This introduces a…
We present some entropy and temperature relations of multi-horizons, even including the "virtual" horizon. These relations are related to product, division and sum of entropy and temperature of multi-horizons. We obtain the additional…
We consider the entropy bounds recently conjectured by Fischler, Susskind and Bousso, and proven in certain cases by Flanagan, Marolf and Wald (FMW). One of the FMW derivations supposes a covariant form of the Bekenstein entropy bound, the…
The Schwarzschild's black hole dynamics in presence of gravity is described on using the thermodynamic equations of state for contractile materials. Its entropy and temperature, obtained by using classical principles, reproduce the results…
Scale dependence at the level of the effective action is a generic result of quantum field theory. Allowing for scale dependence of the gravitational couplings leads to a generalization of the corresponding field equations. In this work,…
We describe the horizon of a quantum black hole in terms of a dynamical surface which defines the boundary of space-time as seen by external static observers, and we define a path integral in the presence of this dynamical boundary. Using…
In statistical mechanics entropy is a measure of disorder obeying Boltzmann's formula $S=\log{\cal N}$, where ${\cal N}$ is the accessible phase space volume. In black hole thermodynamics one associates to a black hole an entropy…
