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.

Develops a constrained particle-on-group formulation of super-JT gravity that yields super-Schwarzian actions, physical supercharges, and explicit N=2/N=4 three-point functions plus zero-energy OTOCs.
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.
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.
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.
For charged de Sitter black holes, choosing the Bousso-Hawking observer normalization keeps the heat capacity finite in the Nariai limit, removing the expected log-T breakdown except in the cold and ultracold limits.
Non-orientable topological gravity produces a resummed topological expansion whose late-time behavior matches the GOE universality class of random matrix theory for time-reversal invariant chaotic systems.
Near-extremal BTZ and warped BTZ in TMG receive log-T corrections from Schwarzian and rotational zero modes whose full-geometry eigenvalues match the throat after non-normalizable eigenfunction corrections and BC specification.
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.
Black holes with infinitely degenerate horizons are proposed to be stable against Aretakis instability, potentially serving as end states.
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.
Microscopic D-brane description of non-supersymmetric extremal black holes yields a unique ground state with non-zero energy, confirming absence of degeneracy.
Derives analytic α' corrections to the three-charge BMPV black hole geometry and computes its corrected entropy via generalized Wald formula, matching supersymmetric index results.
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
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*.
One-loop partition function from boundary graviton zero modes in the near-horizon AdS2 x S1 geometry produces logarithmic corrections to the semiclassical entropy of near-extremal black holes in New Massive Gravity.
Axions cause singularities on the horizons of extremal rotating charged black holes for almost all axion mass and coupling values.
Nucleated black holes in de Sitter space evaporate via standard Hawking radiation back to the empty vacuum, rendering nucleation a temporary fluctuation.
Quantum analysis of AdS3 supergravity path integrals at low temperature shows near-horizon region inequivalent to BTZ and sharpens near-extremal versus near-BPS distinctions.
The boundary theory of near-extremal RN black holes shows a replica phase transition controlled by temperature and the couplings C, K, and E.
Schwarzian modes emerge from the general solution of BTZ perturbations at finite temperature with no rotational modes present, and are equivalently obtained via a Kerr-Schild construction that connects to the double copy.
Finite cutoff in JT gravity causes faster ERB-length saturation, deformation-dependent baby-universe emission only under Lorentzian evolution, and possible one-cut universality corrections in the matrix dual.
