abstract

We review the present status of black hole thermodynamics. Our review includes discussion of classical black hole thermodynamics, Hawking radiation from black holes, the generalized second law, and the issue of entropy bounds. A brief survey also is given of approaches to the calculation of black hole entropy. We conclude with a discussion of some unresolved open issues.

Frame invariant diffusive formulation of scalar-tensor gravity

gr-qc · 2026-04-17 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Scalar-tensor gravity admits a frame-invariant perfect-fluid description with zero temperature, so that general relativity corresponds to diffusive equilibrium for both minimal and nonminimal theories.

Black hole equations of state and response functions

hep-th · 2026-06-15 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Applies a thermodynamic representation framework to quasi-local Schwarzschild black holes, deriving representation-dependent stability, negative thermal expansion, and cooling under isenthalpic expansion.

Holographic Stirling engines and the route to Carnot efficiency

hep-th · 2026-04-17 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Stirling efficiency reaches Carnot when fixed-volume heat capacity is volume-independent, true for classical gases but not quantum or CFTs; holographic CFTs approach Carnot at large potentials with faster convergence under regeneration.

Homothetic Killing horizons in generic Vaidya spacetimes

gr-qc · 2026-04-10 · conditional · novelty 6.0

Vaidya-type dynamical black holes admit homothetic Killing vectors only for linear-in-null-time mass/charge/rotation profiles, and the resulting homothetic Killing horizons carry surface gravities obeying a flux-balance first law.

Modular theory and affine representations on the Rindler horizon

hep-th · 2026-05-31 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Affine group symmetries on the light ray, with dilations implementing modular flow, provide the minimal structure for thermality on the Rindler horizon via the Mellin transform bridge between Minkowski and Rindler modes.

Holographic pressure and volume for black holes

hep-th · 2026-02-04 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Introduces a holographic pressure and volume for static spherically symmetric black holes via quasi-local thermodynamics, showing large black holes become extensive in the large-system limit while small ones do not.

Hawking atmosphere of anti-de Sitter black holes

gr-qc · 2026-05-22 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

Applies Parikh-Wilczek tunneling with backreaction to evaporating AdS black holes, finding luminosity deviates from blackbody scaling for small masses due to rapid mass loss, and computes renormalized energy-momentum tensor in Vaidya-AdS.

A Note on Chaos in Hayward Black Holes with String Fluids

gr-qc · 2025-07-03 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

Melnikov analysis shows charge is essential for chaos under temporal perturbations in Hayward black holes with string fluids while spatial perturbations always produce chaos, with Lyapunov exponents modulated by string density and regularization.

Superradiance -- the 2020 Edition

gr-qc · 2015-01-26 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

Black-hole superradiance extracts energy via the ergoregion and can trigger instabilities with applications to dark matter, beyond-Standard-Model physics, and laboratory analogs.

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.
