Black hole in de Sitter space

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

If cosmological constant is positive, a black hole is naturally described by the Schwarzschild-de Sitter solution with two horizons. We use the global method to extract the topological information and the selection rule for the Gibbons-Hawking temperature for the thermal vacua. These are related to the Euler number of the Euclidean section whose topology is more complicated than expected. We also point out the failure of the usual local method of conical singularity approach in dealing with multi-horizon scenarios.
