Off-diagonal cosmological solutions in emergent gravity theories and Grigory Perelman entropy for geometric flows

We develop an approach to the theory of relativistic geometric flows and emergent gravity defined by entropy functionals and related statistical thermodynamics models. Nonholonomic deformations of G. Perelman's functionals and related entropic values are used for deriving relativistic geometric evolution flow equations. For self-similar configurations, such equations describe generalized Ricci solitons defining modified Einstein equations. We analyze possible connections between relativistic models of nonholonomic Ricci flows and emergent modified gravity theories. We prove that corresponding systems of nonlinear partial differential equations, PDEs, for entropic flows and modified gravity possess certain general decoupling and integration properties. There are constructed new classes of exact and parametric solutions for nonstationary configurations and locally anisotropic cosmological metrics in modified gravity theories and general relativity. Such solutions describe scenarios of nonlinear geometric evolution and gravitational and matter field dynamics with pattern-forming and quasiperiodic structure and various space quasicrystal and deformed spacetime crystal models. We analyze new classes of generic off-diagonal solutions for entropic gravity theories and show how such solutions can be used for explaining structure formation in modern cosmology. Finally, we speculate why the approaches with Perelman-Lyapunov type functionals are more general or complementary to the constructions elaborated using the concept of Bekenstein-Hawking entropy.Comment: accepted to EPJC; latex2e 11pt, 35 pages with a table of contents; v3 is substantially modified with a new title and a new co-autho

Ultraspinning limits and rotating hyperboloid membranes

We apply the hyperboloid membrane limit to the general Kerr-AdS metrics and their recently studied super-entropic cousins and obtain a new class of rotating black holes, for which the rotational parameters in multiple directions attain their maximal value---equal to the AdS radius. These new solutions have a potential application in the description of holographic fluids with vorticity. They also possess interesting thermodynamic properties: we show that---despite the absence of Misner strings---the Bekenstein--Hawking entropy/area law is still violated, raising a question about the origin of this violation.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figures, REVTeX 4-

Entropic force and its fluctuation in Euclidian quantum gravity

In this paper, we study the idea about gravity as entropic force proposed by Verlinde. By applying the identification between partition functions of gravity theory and the dual field theory, we find the gravitational force can be calculated from the changing of entropy induced from its dual field theory side. Unlike Verlinde's calculation, our method does not depend on other assumptions such as equipartition of energy, so it is a safe check on the entropic force idea. Also we show how entropic force can be derived by similar method from gravity side along, which will provide a clue to a better understanding on the gauge/gravity duality. At last, we study the fluctuation of the force, and we find the fluctuation acting on the point-like particle can never be larger than the expectation value of the force. For black hole in AdS space, by gauge/gravity duality, the fluctuation is induced by thermal fluctuation from field theory living on conformal boundary. And for the metric of black hole in flat space, the ratio between fluctuation and force goes to a constant$\frac{T}{m}$ at infinity. .Comment: typos revised, more detailed discussio

Thermodynamic Metrics and Black Hole Physics

We give a brief survey of thermodynamic metrics, in particular the Hessian of the entropy function, and how they apply to black hole thermodynamics. We then provide a detailed discussion of the Gibbs surface of Kerr black holes. In particular we analyze its global properties, and extend it to take the entropy of the inner horizon into account. A brief discussion of Kerr-Newman black holes is included.Comment: 21 pages, new figures adde
