چکیده
Black Hole Entropy” O. B. Zaslavskii Department of Physics, Kharkov State University, Svobody Sq.4, Kharkov 310077, Ukraine E-mail: [email protected] A. Ghosh and P. Mitra made the proposal how to explain the area law for the entropy of extreme black holes in some model calculations. I argue that their approach implicitly operates with strongly singular geometries and says nothing about the contribution of regular metrics of extreme black holes into the partition function. 04.70.Dy

Entropy of Extremal Dyonic Black Holes
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 solutions have zero classical action although the area is nonzero. By combining the general form of the entropy allowed by thermodynamics with recent observations ...

Unlike the extremal Reissner-Nordström black hole in ordinary spacetime, the one in anti-de Sitter spacetime is a minimum of action and has zero entropy if quantization is carried out after extremaliza-tion. However, if extremalization is carried out after quantization, then the entropy is a quarter of the area as in the usual case. While the entropy of ordinary (non-extremal) black holes has b...
متن کاملModifications of the area law and N=2 supersymmetric black holes
Modifications of the area law are crucial in order to find agreement with microscopic entropy calculations based on string theory, when including contributions that are subleading for large charges. The deviations of the area law are in accord with Wald’s proposal for the entropy based on a Noether charge. We discuss this for the case of fourdimensional N = 2 supersymmetric black holes. It is a...

متن کامل5 Area Spectrum of Near Extremal Black Branes from Quasi - normal Modes
Motivated by the recent interest in quantization of black hole area spectrum, we consider the area spectrum of near extremal black 3−branes. Based on the proposal by Bekenstein and others that the black hole area spectrum is discrete and equally spaced, we implement Kunstatter's method to derive the area spectrum for the near extremal black 3−branes. The result for the area of event horizon alt...
