abstract

An important open question in black hole thermodynamics is about the existence of a "mass gap" between an extremal black hole and the lightest near-extremal state within a sector of fixed charge. In this paper, we reliably compute the partition function of Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m near-extremal black holes at temperature scales comparable to the conjectured gap. We find that the density of states at fixed charge does not exhibit a gap; rather, at the expected gap energy scale, we see a continuum of states. We compute the partition function in the canonical and grand canonical ensembles, keeping track of all the fields appearing through a dimensional reduction on $S^2$ in the near-horizon region. Our calculation shows that the relevant degrees of freedom at low temperatures are those of $2d$ Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity coupled to the electromagnetic $U(1)$ gauge field and to an $SO(3)$ gauge field generated by the dimensional reduction.

How traversable is a traversable wormhole?

hep-th · 2026-06-10 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Low-frequency scattering calculations show scalar probes through the MMP wormhole are mostly reflected or trapped at early times with late leakage to half the black-hole cross-section, while charged massless fermions transmit with unit probability via a Callan-Rubakov-like channel.

Not all black holes decohere quantum superpositions

hep-th · 2026-05-22 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Near-extremal charged black holes make decoherence of charged particle superpositions vanish at late times via a spin-induced energy gap from quantum metric fluctuations.

One-loop effect in the charged 2D black hole near extremality

hep-th · 2026-04-16 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

The one-loop correction to near-extremal quantum entropy in this charged 2D black hole is exponentially suppressed at low temperature but scales as sqrt(beta) when the sl(2,R) level and SL(2,R)-U(1) coupling are tuned, providing a worldsheet realization of the black hole/string transition.

Inner Horizon Saddles and a Spectral KSW Criterion

hep-th · 2026-05-08 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Inner horizon saddles supply the semiclassical correction -exp(A_inner/4G) to near-extremal black-hole entropy and motivate a spectral KSW criterion for well-defined one-loop effects around complex gravitational saddles.

Spectral Form Factor of Gapped Random Matrix Systems

hep-th · 2026-01-28 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

In gapped random matrix systems with parametrically many degenerate ground states, the spectral form factor at low temperatures is dominated by the disconnected contribution at all times, while the connected form factor depends only on the non-degenerate eigenvalues.

An extremal black hole with a unique ground state

Microscopic D-brane description of non-supersymmetric extremal black holes yields a unique ground state with non-zero energy, confirming absence of degeneracy.

Universal Lichnerowicz Lifting of Near-Horizon Soft Modes

The universal logarithmic temperature dependence in near-extremal black hole thermodynamics originates from the first-order lifting of Lichnerowicz tensor zero modes in a 2D maximally symmetric throat, which after normalization projects to the Schwarzian sector independently of parent geometry detai

Extended Thermodynamics and Renyi Entropy Beyond Fixed Central Charge

A central-charge Rényi entropy is constructed via the CHM map in a grand canonical ensemble with fixed charge, volume, and central charge potential, shown to obey Rényi inequalities and to separate theory space into dominant-theory and multi-theory regimes at a characteristic index n*.
