Universal horizons in Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity and Einstein-{\ae}ther theory are the equivalent of causal horizons in general relativity and appear to have many of the same properties, including a first law of horizon thermodynamics and thermal radiation. Since universal horizons are infrared solutions of a putative power counting renormalizable quantum gravitational theory, fully understanding their thermodynamics will shed light on the interplay between black hole thermodynamics and quantum gravity. In this paper, we provide a complete classification, including asymptotic charges, of all four dimensional static and spherically symmetric universal horizon solutions with maximally symmetric asymptotics -- the equivalents of the Schwarzschild, Schwarzschild de Sitter or Schwarzschild anti-de Sitter spacetimes. Additionally we derive the associated first laws for the universal horizon solutions. Finally we prove that independent of asymptotic boundary conditions, any spherically symmetric solution in Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity with a universal horizon is also a solution of Einstein-{\ae}ther theory, thereby broadening and complementing the known equivalence region of the solution spaces.

  1. Einstein-aether Elliptic Charges and the First Law of Asymptotically AdS Black Holes

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Einstein-aether theory admits an elliptic charge arising from a symmetry of the reduced action that explains the misalignment contribution to the first law for asymptotically AdS universal horizons.
