    Schwarzschild-anti de Sitter within an Isothermal Cavity: Thermodynamics, Phase Transitions and the Dirichlet Problem

    Full text link
    The thermodynamics of Schwarzschild black holes within an isothermal cavity and the associated Euclidean Dirichlet boundary-value problem are studied for four and higher dimensions in anti-de Sitter (AdS) space. For such boundary conditions classically there always exists a unique hot AdS solution and two or no Schwarzschild-AdS black-hole solutions depending on whether or not the temperature of the cavity-wall is above a minimum value, the latter being a function of the radius of the cavity. Assuming the standard area-law of black-hole entropy, it was known that larger and smaller holes have positive and negative specific heats and hence are locally thermodynamically stable and unstable respectively. In this paper we present the first derivation of this by showing that the standard area law of black-hole entropy holds in the semi-classical approximation of the Euclidean path integral for such boundary conditions. We further show that for wall-temperatures above a critical value a phase transition takes hot AdS to the larger Schwarzschild-AdS within the cavity. The larger hole thus can be globally thermodynamically stable above this temperature. The phase transition can occur for a cavity of arbitrary radius above a (corresponding) critical temperature. In the infinite cavity limit this picture reduces to that considered by Hawking and Page. The case of five dimensions is found to be rather special since exact analytic expressions can be obtained for the masses of the two holes as functions of cavity radius and temperature thus solving exactly the Euclidean Dirichlet problem. This makes it possible to compute the on-shell Euclidean action as functions of them from which other quantities of interest can be evaluated exactly.Comment: 23 pages, Late

    Thermodynamic Interpretation of Field Equations at Horizon of BTZ Black Hole

    Full text link
    A spacetime horizon comprising with a black hole singularity acts like a boundary of a thermal system associated with the notions of temperature and entropy. In case of static metric of BTZ black hole, the field equations near horizon boundary can be expressed as a thermal identity dE=TdS+PrdAdE = TdS + P_{r}dA, where E=ME = M is the mass of BTZ black hole, dAdA is the change in the area of the black hole horizon when the horizon is displaced infinitesimally small, PrP_{r} is the radial pressure provided by the source of Einstein equations, S=4πaS= 4\pi a is the entropy and T=κ/2πT = \kappa / 2\pi is the Hawking temperature associated with the horizon. This approach is studied further to generalize it for non-static BTZ black hole and show that it is also possible to interpret the field equation near horizon as a thermodynamic identity dE=TdS+PrdA+Ω+dJdE = TdS + P_{r}dA + \Omega_{+} dJ, where Ω+\Omega_{+} is the angular velocity and JJ is the angular momentum of BTZ black hole. These results indicate that the field equations for BTZ black hole possess intrinsic thermodynamic properties near horizon.Comment: 8 page

    Ricci-flat Metrics with U(1) Action and the Dirichlet Boundary-value Problem in Riemannian Quantum Gravity and Isoperimetric Inequalities

    Get PDF
    The Dirichlet boundary-value problem and isoperimetric inequalities for positive definite regular solutions of the vacuum Einstein equations are studied in arbitrary dimensions for the class of metrics with boundaries admitting a U(1) action. We show that in the case of non-trivial bundles Taub-Bolt infillings are double-valued whereas Taub-Nut and Eguchi-Hanson infillings are unique. In the case of trivial bundles, there are two Schwarzschild infillings in arbitrary dimensions. The condition of whether a particular type of filling in is possible can be expressed as a limitation on squashing through a functional dependence on dimension in each case. The case of the Eguchi-Hanson metric is solved in arbitrary dimension. The Taub-Nut and the Taub-Bolt are solved in four dimensions and methods for arbitrary dimension are delineated. For the case of Schwarzschild, analytic formulae for the two infilling black hole masses in arbitrary dimension have been obtained. This should facilitate the study of black hole dynamics/thermodynamics in higher dimensions. We found that all infilling solutions are convex. Thus convexity of the boundary does not guarantee uniqueness of the infilling. Isoperimetric inequalities involving the volume of the boundary and the volume of the infilling solutions are then investigated. In particular, the analogues of Minkowski's celebrated inequality in flat space are found and discussed providing insight into the geometric nature of these Ricci-flat spaces.Comment: 40 pages, 3 figure

    \bbbc P^2 and \bbbc P^{1} Sigma Models in Supergravity: Bianchi type IX Instantons and Cosmologies

    Full text link
    We find instanton/cosmological solutions with biaxial Bianchi-IX symmetry, involving non-trivial spatial dependence of the \bbbc P^{1}- and \bbbc P^{2}-sigma-models coupled to gravity. Such manifolds arise in N=1, d=4d=4 supergravity with supermatter actions and hence the solutions can be embedded in supergravity. There is a natural way in which the standard coordinates of these manifolds can be mapped into the four-dimensional physical space. Due to its special symmetry, we start with \bbbc P^{2} with its corresponding scalar Ansatz; this further requires the spacetime to be SU(2)Ă—U(1)SU(2) \times U(1)-invariant. The problem then reduces to a set of ordinary differential equations whose analytical properties and solutions are discussed. Among the solutions there is a surprising, special-family of exact solutions which owe their existence to the non-trivial topology of \bbbc P^{2} and are in 1-1 correspondence with matter-free Bianchi-IX metrics. These solutions can also be found by coupling \bbbc P^{1} to gravity. The regularity of these Euclidean solutions is discussed -- the only possibility is bolt-type regularity. The Lorentzian solutions with similar scalar Ansatz are all obtainable from the Euclidean solutions by Wick rotation

    Entropy Corrections for Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordstr\"om Black Holes

    Full text link
    Schwarzschild black hole being thermodynamically unstable, corrections to its entropy due to small thermal fluctuations cannot be computed. However, a thermodynamically stable Schwarzschild solution can be obtained within a cavity of any finite radius by immersing it in an isothermal bath. For these boundary conditions, classically there are either two black hole solutions or no solution. In the former case, the larger mass solution has a positive specific heat and hence is locally thermodynamically stable. We find that the entropy of this black hole, including first order fluctuation corrections is given by: {\cal S} = S_{BH} - \ln[\f{3}{R} (S_{BH}/4\p)^{1/2} -2]^{-1} + (1/2) \ln(4\p), where SBH=A/4S_{BH}=A/4 is its Bekenstein-Hawking entropy and RR is the radius of the cavity. We extend our results to four dimensional Reissner-Nordstr\"om black holes, for which the corresponding expression is: {\cal S} = S_{BH} - \f{1}{2} \ln [ {(S_{BH}/\p R^2) ({3S_{BH}}/{\p R^2} - 2\sqrt{{S_{BH}}/{\p R^2 -\a^2}}) \le(\sqrt{{S_{BH}}/{\p R^2}} - \a^2 \ri)}/ {\le({S_{BH}}/{\p R^2} -\a^2 \ri)^2} ]^{-1} +(1/2)\ln(4\p). Finally, we generalise the stability analysis to Reissner-Nordstr\"om black holes in arbitrary spacetime dimensions, and compute their leading order entropy corrections. In contrast to previously studied examples, we find that the entropy corrections in these cases have a different character.Comment: 6 pages, Revtex. References added, minor changes.
