We study the thermodynamic consequences of a recently proposed description for a Schwarzschild black hole based on Euclidean (D3,D3)+(\bar{D3},\bar{D3}) brane pairs described in terms of chain-like excitations. A discrete mass-spectrum of…
It is shown that three-dimensional charged black holes can approach the extreme state at nonzero temperature. Unlike even dimensional cases, the entropy for the extreme three-dimensional charged black hole is uniquely described by the…
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…
We suggest in this Letter that the Bekenstein-Hawking black hole entropy accounts for the degrees of freedom which are excited at low temperatures only and hence it leads to the negative specific heat. Taking into account the physical…
In this work we determine that the Hawking temperature of black holes possesses a purely topological nature. We find a very simple but powerful formula, based on a topological invariant known as the Euler characteristic, which is able to…
It has been widely believed that the Hawking temperature for a black hole is $uniquely$ determined by its metric and $positive$. But, I find that this does ``not'' seem to be true in the recently discovered black holes which include the…
About thirty years ago, Bekenstein and Hawking introduced three basic concepts relating to black hole, namely, the "area entropy", "gravitation temperature" and "thermal radiation". The author analyzes these concepts systematically and…
Black holes are thermodynamic objects, but despite recent progress, the ultimate statistical mechanical origin of black hole temperature and entropy remains mysterious. Here I summarize an approach in which the entropy is viewed as arising…
We give a method in which a quantum of mass equal to twice the Planck mass arises naturally. Then using Bose-Einstein statistics we derive an expression for the black hole entropy which physically tends to the Bekenstein-Hawking formula.
An accelerating observer sees a thermal bath of radiation at the Hawking temperature which is proportional to the acceleration. Also, in string theory there is a Hagedorn temperature beyond which one cannot go without an infinite amount of…
We study the thermodynamic analysis and logarithm corrections of the new Schwarzschild black hole. We compute the thermodynamic quantities like entropy, Hawking temperature and heat capacity. The area of black holes never decreases because…
The thermodynamical one-loop entropy $S^{TD}$ of a two-dimensional black hole in thermal equilibrium with the massless quantum gas is calculated. It is shown that $S^{TD}$ includes the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy, evaluated for the quantum…
A black hole can be regarded as a thermodynamic system described by a grand canonical ensemble. In this paper, we study the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of higher-dimensional rotating black holes using the Euclidean path-integral method of…
The thermodynamic entropy of an isolated system is given by its von Neumann entropy. Over the last few years, there is an intense activity to understand thermodynamic entropy from the principles of quantum mechanics. More specifically, is…
We calculate the entropy of an asymptotically Schwarzschild black hole (BH), using an effective field theory of winding modes in type II string theory. In Euclidean signature, the geometry of the BH contains a thermal cycle which shrinks…
Interior volume within the horizon of a black hole is a non-trivial concept which turns out to be very important to explain several issues in the context of quantum nature of black hole. Here we show that the entropy, contained by the {\it…
A black hole considered as a part of a thermodynamical system possesses the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy $S_H =A_H /(4l_{\mbox{\scriptsize{P}}}^2)$, where $A_H$ is the area of a black hole surface and $l_{\,\mbox{\scriptsize{P}}}$ is the…
Christodoulou and Rovelli have shown that the maximal interior volume of a Schwarzschild black hole linearly grows with time. Recently, their conclusion has been extended to the Reissner{-}Nordstr$\ddot{\text{o}}$m and Kerr black holes.…
A microscopic derivation of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy for the Schwarzschild black hole was presented earlier by using a non-trivial phase space. It was argued that the Schwarzschild black hole behaves like a 1D quantum mechanical…
Our goal in this paper is to explain the internal properties of the black hole by considering its density as a function of the reciprocal of its radius and the temperature as a function of the reciprocal of the density. We then set the…
