Geometry of Black Hole Thermodynamics

چکیده
The Hessian of the entropy function can be thought of as a metric tensor on the state space. In the context of thermodynamical fluctuation theory Ruppeiner has argued that the Riemannian geometry of this metric gives insight into the underlying statistical mechanical system; the claim is supported by numerous examples. We study this geometry for some families of black holes. It is flat for the BTZ and Reissner–Nordström black holes, while curvature singularities occur for the Reissner–Nordström–anti–de Sitter and Kerr black holes. Email address: [email protected].

Black Hole Horizons and the Thermodynamics of Strings *
We review the classical thermodynamics and the greybody factors of general (rotating) non-extreme black holes and discuss universal features of their near-horizon geometry. We motivate a microscopic interpretation of general black holes that relates the thermodynamics of an effective string theory to the geometry of the black hole in the vicinity of both the outer and the inner event horizons. ...
متن کاملGeometry of Higher-Dimensional Black Hole Thermodynamics
We investigate thermodynamic curvatures of the Kerr and Reissner-Nordström (RN) black holes in spacetime dimensions higher than four. These black holes possess thermodynamic geometries similar to those in four dimensional spacetime. The thermodynamic geometries are the Ruppeiner geometry and the conformally related Weinhold geometry. The Ruppeiner geometry for d = 5 Kerr black hole is curved an...
متن کاملOne-loop Corrected Thermodynamics of the Extremal and Non-extremal Spinning Btz Black Hole
We consider the one-loop corrected geometry and thermodynamics of a rotating BTZ black hole by way of a dimensionally reduced dilaton model. The analysis begins with a comprehensive study of the non-extremal solution after which two different methods are invoked to study the extremal case. The first approach considers the extremal limit of the non-extremal calculations, whereas the second treat...
متن کاملNoncommutative geometry inspired wormholes and dirty black holes
We provide new exact solutions of the Einstein equations which generalize the noncommutative geometry inspired Schwarzschild metric, previously obtained by the authors. We consider here more general equations of state and find new geometries describing both a regular “dirty black hole” and a “wormhole”. We discuss strong and weak energy condition violation and variuos aspects of the regular dir...
متن کاملAspects of black hole quantum mechanics and thermodynamics in 2+1 dimensions.
We discuss the quantum mechanics and thermodynamics of the (2+1)dimensional black hole, using both minisuperspace methods and exact results from Chern-Simons theory. In particular, we evaluate the first quantum correction to the black hole entropy. We show that the dynamical variables of the black hole arise from the possibility of a deficit angle at the (Euclidean) horizon, and briefly specula...
متن کاملThermodynamic Properties of a Regular Black Hole in Gravity Coupling to Nonlinear Electrodynamics
Abstract: We first calculate the heat capacities of the nonlinear electrodynamics (NED) black hole for fixed mass and electric charge, and the electric capacitances for fixed mass and entropy. Then, we study the properties of the Ruppeiner thermodynamic geometry of the NED black hole. Lastly, some discussions on the thermal stability of the NED black hole and the implication to the flatness of ...
