abstract

We study quantum corrections to the Euclidean path integral of charged and static four-dimensional de Sitter (dS$_4$) black holes near extremality. These black holes admit three different extremal limits (Cold, Nariai and Ultracold) which exhibit AdS$_2 \times S^2 $, dS$_2 \times S^2 $ and $\text{Mink}_2 \times S^2$ near horizon geometries, respectively. The one-loop correction to the gravitational path integral in the near horizon geometry is plagued by infrared divergencies due to the presence of tensor, vector and gauge zero modes. Inspired by the analysis of black holes in flat space, we regulate these divergences by introducing a small temperature correction in the Cold and Nariai background geometries. In the Cold case, we find a contribution from the gauge modes which is not present in previous work in asymptotically flat spacetimes. Several issues concerning the Nariai case, including the presence of negative norm states and negative eigenvalues, are discussed, together with problems faced when trying to apply this procedure to the Ultracold solution.

    The one-loop partition function of the Galilean-de Sitter boundary theory is Z(β) = (2/πβ²) exp(4π²c₀/β), whose β⁻² prefactor matches the four generators of the EdS-G algebra; the matching bulk is a Newton-Cartan geom...

    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.

    Cold near-extremal Kerr-de Sitter black holes carry universal log(T) entropy corrections while rotating Nariai geometries do not, as derived from Teukolsky/Heun connection coefficients.
