The entropy of a black hole can be different from a quarter of the area even at the semiclassical level.
For extremal charged black holes, the thermodynamic entropy is proportional not to the area but to the mass or charges. This is demonstrated here for dyonic extremal black hole solutions of string theory. It is pointed out that these…
The quasi-local notion of an isolated horizon is employed to study the entropy of black holes without any particular symmetry in loop quantum gravity. The idea of characterizing the shape of a horizon by a sequence of local areas is…
The investigation about the volume of a black hole is closely related to the quantum nature of the black hole. The entropy is a significant concept for this. A recent work by Majhi and Samanta [Phys. Lett. B 770 (2017) 314] after us…
We investigate the microscopic origin of black hole entropy, in particular the gap between the maximum entropy of ordinary matter and that of black holes. Using curved space, we construct configurations with entropy greater than their area…
The classical Bekenstein entropy of a black hole is argued to arise from configurations of strings with ends which are frozen on the horizon. Quantum corrections to this entropy are probably finite unlike the case in quantum field theory.…
The Euclidean action and entropy are computed in string-generated gravity models with quadratic curvatures, and used to argue that a negative mass extremal metric is the background for hyperbolic (k=-1) black hole spacetimes, k being the…
Black hole entropy is studied for an exactly solvable model of two-dimensional gravity\cite{rst1}, using recently developed Noether charge techniques\cite{wald1}. This latter approach is extended to accomodate the non-local form of the…
It has been shown by explicit and exact calculation that whenever we have taken the \emph{effects of stable thermal fluctuations} the entropy product formula should \emph{not be mass-independent} nor \emph{does it quantized}. It has been…
We consider evaporation of the Schwarzschild black hole and note that island configurations do not provide a bounded entanglement entropy. The same remark is valid also for some other static black holes. A proposal for improving the…
We study the entropy relations of multi-horizons black holes in higher dimensional (A)dS spacetime with maximal symmetries, including Einstein-Maxwell gravity and $f(R)$(-Maxwell) gravity. These additional equalities in thermodynamics are…
We conjecture that black holes, whether accreting matter or not, can also lose mass to phantom energy production. Such a process can be made plausible in theories that allow for non-local connections between short and long wavelength modes.…
The coupling of a 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. This departure from the A/4 universality results from a string instanton…
We investigate the meaning of the entropy carried away by Hawking radiations from a black hole. We propose that the entropy for a black hole measures the uncertainty of the information about the black hole forming matter's precollapsed…
Black hole entropy is derived from a sum over boundary states. The boundary states are labeled by energy and momentum surface densities, and parametrized by the boundary metric. The sum over state labels is expressed as a functional…
Black holes monopolize nowadays the center stage of fundamental physics. Yet, they are poorly understood objects. Notwithstanding, from their generic properties, one can infer important clues to what a fundamental theory, a theory that…
It is argued that the qualitative features of black holes, regarded as quantum mechanical objects, depend both on the parameters of the hole and on the microscopic theory in which it is embedded. A thermal description is inadequate for…
In a recent paper [Entropy 2020, 22(1), 17] C. Tsallis states that entropy -- as in Shannon's or Kullback-Leiber's definitions -- is inadequate to interpret black hole entropy and suggests that a new non-additive functional should take the…
We present some arguments in support of a {\it zero} entropy for {\it extremal} black holes. These rely on a combination of both quantum, thermodynamic, and statistical physics arguments. This result may shed some light on the nature of…
The area formula for entropy is extended to the case of a dilatonic black hole. The entropy of a scalar field in the background of such a black hole is calculated semiclassically. The area and cutoff dependences are normal {\it except in…
