abstract

We give the general Kerr-de Sitter metric in arbitrary spacetime dimension D\ge 4, with the maximal number [(D-1)/2] of independent rotation parameters. We obtain the metric in Kerr-Schild form, where it is written as the sum of a de Sitter metric plus the square of a null geodesic vector, and in generalised Boyer-Lindquist coordinates. The Kerr-Schild form is simpler for verifying that the Einstein equations are satisfied, and we have explicitly checked our results for all dimensions D\le 11. We discuss the global structure of the metrics, and obtain formulae for the surface gravities and areas of the event horizons. We also obtain the Euclidean-signature solutions, and we construct complete non-singular compact Einstein spaces on associated S^{D-2} bundles over S^2, infinitely many for each odd D \ge 5.

The Role of the Volume in Black Hole Thermodynamics

gr-qc · 2026-06-29 · conditional · novelty 5.0

Conserved charges built from a Kerr-Schild background show the first law requires the Killing vector and AdS background to be held fixed, explaining why the rotating-frame energy F fails while E works, and why the geometric volume appears in the β Smarr relation.

Black hole chemistry: thermodynamics with Lambda

hep-th · 2016-08-22 · accept · novelty 3.0

Treating the cosmological constant as pressure in black hole thermodynamics yields an extended dictionary with enthalpy, thermodynamic volume, and chemical-like phase transitions including Van der Waals behavior, reentrant transitions, and triple points.

    A new thermodynamic inequality 4πJ²/(3MV) < 1 is derived for rotating AdS black holes to prevent naked singularities and uphold cosmic censorship.
