abstract

We investigate the pair creation of charged black holes in a background with a positive cosmological constant. We consider $C$ metrics with a cosmological constant, and show that the conical singularities in the metric only disappear when it reduces to the Reissner-Nordstr\"om de Sitter metric. We construct an instanton describing the pair production of extreme black holes and an instanton describing the pair production of non-extreme black holes from the Reissner-Nordstr\"om de Sitter metric, and calculate their actions. There are a number of striking similarities between these instantons and the Ernst instantons, which describe pair production in a background electromagnetic field. We also observe that the type I instanton in the ordinary $C$ metric with zero cosmological constant is actually the Reissner-Nordstr\"om solution.

  1. Limits on the Statistical Description of Charged de Sitter Black Holes

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 7.0

    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.

  2. Semiclassical decay of de Sitter space into black holes with vortex-deformed horizons

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    De Sitter space decays into vortex-dressed black holes via a regular Euclidean instanton that generalizes the Nariai solution, with rates organized by topological charge of the vortices.

  3. The fate of Reissner--Nordstr\"om--de Sitter black holes: nonequilibrium discharge and evaporation

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Semiclassical RN-dS evaporation via 2D dilaton gravity and anomaly flux yields monotonic neutral mass loss and rapid discharge, making classical equilibrium loci non-attractors and leading to empty de Sitter space.

  4. Limits on the Statistical Description of Charged de Sitter Black Holes

    hep-th 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Adopting the Bousso-Hawking observer normalization for RNdS black holes produces finite heat capacity near the Nariai limit while confirming vanishing capacity in cold and ultracold limits, limiting statistical descriptions.
