We discuss the status of the black hole entropy formula $S_{\rm BH} = A_H /4G$ in low energy effective field theory. The low energy expansion of the black hole entropy is studied in a non-equilibrium situation: the semiclassical decay of…
We study the three dimensional Schwarzschild-de Sitter (SdS$_3$) black hole which corresponds essentially to a conical defect. We compute the mass of the SdS$_3$ black hole from the correct definition of the mass in asymptotically de Sitter…
We study the partition function and entropy of U(1) gauge theories with multiple boundaries on the black holes background. The nontrivial boundary conditions allow residual zero longitudinal momentum modes and Wilson lines stretched between…
The leading asymptotic large-scale behaviour of the spatially bipartite entanglement entropy (EE) of the free Fermi gas infinitely extended in multidimensional Euclidean space at zero absolute temperature, T=0, is by now well understood.…
Inspired by the recent work of Bao and Ooguri (BO), we study the distinguishability of the black hole microstates from the thermal state as captured by the average of their relative entropies: the Holevo information. Under the assumption…
Statistical mechanics explains thermodynamics in terms of (quantum) mechanics by equating the entropy of a microstate of a closed system with the logarithm of the number of microstates in the macrostate to which it belongs, but the question…
In a classical spacetime satisfying Einstein's equation and the null convergence condition, the same quantum mechanical effects that cause black holes to have a temperature are found to imply, if joined to the macroscopic nature of entropy,…
Recently, there has been much attention devoted to resolving the quantum corrections to the Bekenstein-Hawking (black hole) entropy, which relates the entropy to the cross-sectional area of the black hole horizon. Using generalized…
In this paper the low temperature zero-frequency transport in a 2+1-dimensional theory dual to a dyonic black hole is discussed. It is shown that transport exhibits topological features: the transverse electric and heat conductivities…
We report for the first time that in heterotic string compactified on 4-torus or equivalently IIA string compactified on K3, the leading $\alpha'$ corrections to the rotating black string entropy at fixed conserved charges can be negative.…
In this note, we consider entanglement and Renyi entropies for spatial subsystems of a boundary conformal field theory (BCFT) or of a CFT in a state constructed using a Euclidean BCFT path integral. Holographic calculations suggest that…
It has been shown that the entropy function formalism is an efficient way to calculate the entropy of black holes in string theory. We check this formalism for the extremal charged dilaton black hole. We find the general four-derivative…
The black hole entropy has been observed to generically turn negative at exponentially low temperatures $T\sim e^{-S_0}$ in the extremal Bekenstein-Hawking entropy $S_0$, a seeming pathology often attributed to missing non-perturbative…
We study the phase transition and critical phenomenon of charged black holes in Einstein-Maxwell-scalar (EMs) theory. Through comprehensive analysis of thermodynamic behaviors manifested in P-V diagrams, G(T,P) surfaces, and C_P curves, we…
We investigate the thermodynamic and observational implications for the charged torus-like black holes, a class of solutions distinct from the classical Schwarzschild black holes. We explicitly derive the fundamental thermodynamic…
We derive a universal upper bound to the entropy of a charged system. The entropy bound follows from application of the generalized second law of thermodynamics to a gedanken experiment in which an entropy-bearing charged system falls into…
The aim of this work is to study the role of relative entropy in the thermodynamics of black holes and cosmological horizons. We adapt some recent results on the relative entropy of coherent excitations of the vacuum, to find the variation…
The thermal partition function, $Z$, of a $CFT_d$ on $S^{d-1}$ is parameterized by the inverse temperature $\beta$ along with $\lfloor d/2\rfloor$ angular velocities $\omega_i$. In this paper, we investigate the behaviour of this partition…
In this article, we investigate the assumption of equipartition of energy in arguments for the entropic nature of gravity. It has already been pointed out by other authors that equipartition is not valid for low temperatures. Here we…
In the Letter [1] (also [2]) there is a claim that the generalised second law of thermodynamics (entropy increase) for black holes provides some limits on the rate of variation of the fundamental constants of nature (electric charge e,…
