Thermodynamic Curvature of the BTZ Black Hole
Some thermodynamic properties of the Ba\~nados-Teitelboim-Zanelli (BTZ) black
hole are studied to get the effective dimension of its corresponding
statistical model. For this purpose, we make use of the geometrical approach to
the thermodynamics: Considering the black hole as a thermodynamic system with
two thermodynamic variables (the mass and the angular momemtum ), we
obtain two-dimensional Riemannian thermodynamic geometry described by positive
definite Ruppeiner metric. From the thermodynamic curvature we find that the
extremal limit is the critical point. The effective spatial dimension of the
statistical system corresponding to the near-extremal BTZ black holes is one.
Far from the extremal point, the effective dimension becomes less than one,
which leads to one possible speculation on the underlying structure for the
corresponding statistical model.Comment: 19 pages, LaTeX with revtex macro, 4 figures in eps file
Holography: 2-D or not 2-D?
As was recently pointed out by Cadoni, a certain class of two-dimensional
gravitational theories will exhibit (black hole) thermodynamic behavior that is
reminiscent of a free field theory. In the current letter, a direct
correspondence is established between these two-dimensional models and the
strongly curved regime of (arbitrary-dimensional) anti-de Sitter gravity. On
this basis, we go on to speculatively argue that two-dimensional gravity may
ultimatley be utilized for identifying and perhaps even understanding
holographic dualities.Comment: 8 pages, Revtex; (v2) references and footnote added; (v3) discussion

Entropic force and its cosmological implications
We investigate a possibility of realizing the entropic force into the
cosmology. A main issue is how the holographic screen is implemented in the
Newtonian cosmology. Contrary to the relativistic realization of Friedmann
equations, we do not clarify the connection between Newtonian cosmology and
entropic force because there is no way of implementing the holographic screen
in the Newtonian cosmology.Comment: 16 pages, no figures, version "Accepted for publication in

Black holes in the Einstein -Gauss-Bonnet theory and the geometry of their thermodynamics-II
In the present work we study (i) charged black hole in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet
(EGB) theory, known as Einstein-Maxwell-Gauss-Bonnet (EMGB) black hole and (ii)
black hole in EGB gravity with Yang-Mills field. The thermodynamic geometry of
these two black hole solutions has been investigated, using the modified
entropy in Gauss-Bonnet theory.Comment: 7 page
Brane Cosmology in the Background of D-Brane with NS B Field
We study the cosmological evolution of the four-dimensional universe on the
probe D3-brane in geodesic motion in the curved background of the source
Dp-brane with non-zero NS B field. The Friedman equations describing the
expansion of the brane universe are obtained and analyzed for various limits.
We elaborate on corrections to the cosmological evolution due to nonzero NS B
field.Comment: 13 pages, LaTeX, revised version with minor corrections to appear in

Parity and Time Reversal in the Spin-Rotation Interaction
A recently reported discrepancy between experimental and theoretical values
of the muon's g-2 factor is interpreted as due to small violations of the
conservation of P and T in the spin-rotation coupling. The experiments place an
upper limit on these violations and on the weight change of spinning
gyroscopes.Comment: 3 page
The Gregory-Laflamme instability for the D2-D0 bound state
The D2-D0 bound state exhibits a Gregory-Laflamme instability when it is
sufficiently non-extremal. If there are no D0-branes, the requisite
non-extremality is finite. When most of the extremal mass comes from D0-branes,
the requisite non-extremality is very small. The location of the threshhold for
the instability is determined using a local thermodynamic analysis which is
then checked against a numerical analysis of the linearized equations of
motion. The thermodynamic analysis reveals an instability of non-commutative
field theory at finite temperature, which may occur only at very long
wavelengths as the decoupling limit is approached.Comment: 19 pages, Latex2e. v2: two refs added. v3: clearer exposition in

Hawking-Page Phase Transition of black Dp-branes and R-charged black holes with an IR Cutoff
We show that the confinement-deconfinement phase transition of supersymmetric
Yang-Mills theories with 16 supercharges in various dimensions can be realized
through the Hawking-Page phase transition between the near horizon geometries
of black Dp-branes and BPS Dp-branes by removing a small radius region in the
geometry in order to realize a confinement phase, which generalizes the
Herzog's discussion for the holographic hard-wall AdS/QCD model. Removing a
small radius region in the gravitational dual corresponds to introducing an IR
cutoff in the dual field theory. We also discuss the Hawking-Page phase
transition between thermal , , spaces and R-charged AdS
black holes coming from the spherical reduction of the decoupling limit of
rotating D3-, M2-, and M5- branes in type IIB supergravity and 11 dimensional
supergravity in grand canonical ensembles, where the IR cutoff also plays a
crucial role in the existence of the phase transition.Comment: 34 pages, 18 figures, JHEP3, v2, references added, v3, some

Light-like noncommutativity and duality from open strings/branes
In this paper we perform some non-trivial tests for the recently obtained
open membrane/D-brane metrics and `generalized' noncommutativity parameters
using Dp/NS5/M5-branes which have been deformed by light-like fields. The
results obtained give further evidence that these open membrane/D-brane metrics
and `generalized' noncommutativity parameters are correct. Further, we use the
open brane data and supergravity duals to obtain more information about
non-gravitational theories with light-like noncommutativity, or `generalized'
light-like noncommutativity. In particular, we investigate various duality
relations (strong coupling limits). In the light-like case we also comment on
the relation between open membrane data (open membrane metric etc.) in six
dimensions and open string data in five dimensions. Finally, we investigate the
strong coupling limit (high energy limit) of five dimensional NCYM with
\Theta^{12}=\Theta^{34}. In particular, we find that this NCYM theory can be UV
completed by a DLCQ compactification of M-theory.Comment: 24 pages, Latex. v2:Comments and references added. v3:Version

Scalar-Tensor Theory of Gravity and Generalized Second Law of Thermodynamics on the Event Horizon
In blackhole physics, the second law of thermodynamics is generally valid
whether the blackhole is a static or a non-static one. Considering the universe
as a thermodynamical system the second law of blackhole dynamics extends to the
non-negativity of the sum of the entropy of the matter and the horizon, known
as generalized second law of thermodynamics(GSLT). Here, we have assumed the
universe to be bounded by the event-horizon or filled with perfect fluid and
holographic dark energy in two cases. Thus considering entropy to be an
arbitrary function of the area of the event-horizon, we have tried to find the
conditions and the restrictions over the scalar field and equation of state for
the validity of the GSLT and both in quintessence-era and in phantom-era in
scalar tensor theory.Comment: 8 page
