Energy of anti–de Sitter black holes in odd-dimensional quadratic curvature gravity

Anti-de Sitter Black Holes, Thermal Phase Transition and Holography in Higher Curvature Gravity

We study anti-de Sitter black holes and evaluate different thermodynamic quantities in the EinsteinGauss-Bonnet and the general R2 gravity theories. We examine the possibility of Hawking-Page type thermal phase transitions between AdS black hole and thermal anti-de Sitter space in such theories. In Einstein theory with a possible cosmological term, one observes a Hawking-Page phase transition o...

Black Holes in Higher-dimensional Gravity *

These lectures review some of the recent progress in uncovering the phase structure of black hole solutions in higher-dimensional vacuum Einstein gravity. The two classes on which we focus are Kaluza-Klein black holes, i.e. static solutions with an event horizon in asymptotically flat spaces with compact directions, and stationary solutions with an event horizon in asymptotically flat space. Hi...

Perturbative metric of charged black holes in quadratic gravity.

We consider perturbative solutions to the classical field equations coming from a quadratic gravitational lagrangian in four dimensions. We study the charged, spherically symmetric black hole and explicitly give corrections up to third order (in the coupling constant β multiplying the RμνR μν term) to the Reissner–Nordström hole metric. We consider the thermodynamics of such black holes, in par...
