Black holes are extremely relativistic objects. Physical processes around them occur in a regime where the gravitational field is extremely intense. Under such conditions, our representations of space, time, gravity, and thermodynamics are…
We have known for more than thirty years that black holes behave as thermodynamic systems, radiating as black bodies with characteristic temperatures and entropies. This behavior is not only interesting in its own right; it could also,…
Black holes behave as thermodynamic systems, and a central task of any quantum theory of gravity is to explain these thermal properties. A statistical mechanical description of black hole entropy once seemed remote, but today we suffer an…
The comparison of geometrical properties of black holes with classical thermodynamic variables reveals surprising parallels between the laws of black hole mechanics and the laws of thermodynamics. Since Hawking's discovery that black holes…
The discovery in the early 1970s that black holes radiate as black bodies has radically affected our understanding of general relativity, and offered us some early hints about the nature of quantum gravity. In this chapter I will review the…
Field equations of a classical, geometric, theory of gravity, augmented with some semiclassical considerations strongly suggest that the gravitational field representing a stationary black hole can be simply described with a few…
The first and second laws of black hole thermodynamics are verified to emerge from a generic semiclassical theory of gravity for which a Hamiltonian can be defined. The first law is established for stationary spacetimes, and the second law…

We study the thermodynamic properties associated with the black hole event horizon and the cosmological horizon for black hole solutions in asymptotically de Sitter spacetimes. We examine thermodynamics of these horizons on the basis of the…
In this paper, we study the thermodynamical properties of the (2+1)dimensional black hole with a Coulomb-like electric field and the differential form of the first law of thermodynamics is derived considering a virtual displacement of its…
We study thermodynamics and geometrothermodynamics of a particular black hole configuration with a nonlinear source. We use the mass as fundamental equation, from which it follows that the curvature radius must be considered as a…
Inspired by the idea that the cosmological constant can be considered as a dynamical quantity, we present a scenario bridging certain swampland conjectures from a new look at thermodynamics of black holes. Dealing with the radial metric…
Many fundamental issues remain for black hole thermodynamics after almost half a century of its conception. For example, what are the underlying degrees of freedom of a black hole horizon that give rise to said thermodynamical properties?…
The first law of black hole mechanics has been the main motivation for investigating thermodynamic properties of black holes. The first version of this law was proved in \cite{Bardeen:1973gs} by considering perturbations of an…
Since the descovery by Stephen Hawking that black holes emit radiation in the context of the semiclassical approach to gravity, the black hole thermodynamics has become an active field of research in theoretical physics. In this thesis, the…
We analyze the thermodynamical behavior of black holes in closed finite boxes. First the black hole mass evolution is analyzed in an initially empty box. Using the conservation of the energy and the Hawking evaporation flux, we deduce a…
We review and correct the classical critical exponents characterizing the transition from negative to positive black hole's heat capacity at high charge--angular momentum. We discuss the stability properties of black holes as a…
In the early 1970s it is was realized that there is a striking formal analogy between the Laws of black-hole mechanics and the Laws of classical thermodynamics. Before the discovery of Hawking radiation, however, it was generally thought…
In this thesis properties and the origin of black hole entropy are investigated from various points of view. First, laws of black hole thermodynamics are reviewed. In particular, the first and generalized second laws are investigated in…
