Different forms of the metric for the Kerr-NUT-(anti-)de Sitter space-time are being widely used in its extension to higher dimensions. The purpose of this note is to relate the parameters that are being used to the physical parameters…
Two-dimensional conformal field theories exhibit a universal free energy in the high temperature limit $T \to \infty$, and a universal spectrum in the Cardy regime, $\Delta \to \infty$. We show that a much stronger form of universality…

We develop a general framework for interpreting the thermodynamic descriptions of Kerr-anti de Sitter black holes (KadS). These descriptions satisfy a first law and respect the homogeneity required by scaling properties. Additionally, they…
In this article, we present a fermionic extension of the scalar Born-Infeld equation, which has been derived from the Nambu-Goto superstring action in (2+1) dimensions through the Cartesian parameterization. It is demonstrated that in the…
A formalism is presented for computing the higher-order corrections to the worldvolume action of co-dimension one solitons. By modifying its potential, an explicit "kink" solution of a real scalar field in AdS spacetime is found. The…
We derive a class of Taub-NUT metrics in the presence of a scalar field (TNS) by using Ernst equations and potential, as well as using Ehlers transformations on the exact solutions that was recently introduced in Azizallahi et al. (Nucl…
We show that the calculation of the thermodynamic volume in the bulk theory is sensitive to conformal anomalies in the dual CFT, and present a new way of calculating it when the conformal anomalies do not vanish. This solves the issue where…
In a domain of the Euclidean space, we estimate from below the distance to the boundary of global maximum points of solutions of elliptic and parabolic equations with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary values. As reference cases, we first…
We refine the definition of universal ratio c/\tilde{c} obtained via AdS/CFT correspondence as shown in arXiv:0801.2785 [hep-th], denoted as \gamma_c, and apply it to non-CFTs whose dual gravitational theory have metric of asymptotic AdS.…
In this paper, we study the recently discovered family of higher dimensional Kerr-AdS black holes with an extra NUT-like parameter. We show that the inverse metric is additively separable after multiplication by a simple function. This…
In theories of gravity where the cosmological constant defines a thermodynamic variable, the pressure, it has been shown that solutions of Einstein's equations have a corresponding thermodynamic volume. In general, the expression for the…
