For black holes with more than one horizon, the existence of a global temperature is not fully understood. This can affect the thermodynamics of these black holes to be unclear. In this paper, using the method of quantum tunneling, we find…

In the standard viewpoint, the temperature of a stationary black hole is proportional to its surface gravity, $T_H=\hbar\kappa/2\pi$. This is a semiclassical result and the quantum gravity effects are not taken into consideration. This…
