Are Superentropic black holes superentropic?
Michael Appels, Leopoldo Cuspinera, Ruth Gregory +2
We study a critical limit in which asymptotically-AdS black holes develop maximal conical deficits and their horizons become non-compact. When applied to stationary rotating black…

Holographic Thermodynamics of Accelerating Black Holes
Andres Anabalon, Michael Appels, Ruth Gregory +3
We present a careful study of accelerating black holes in anti-de Sitter spacetime, formulating the thermodynamics and resolving discrepancies that have appeared in previous invest…

Black Hole Thermodynamics with Conical Defects
Michael Appels, Ruth Gregory, David Kubiznak
Recently we have shown [1604.08812] how to formulate a thermodynamic first law for a single (charged) accelerated black hole in AdS space by fixing the conical deficit angles prese…
