Holographic heat engines for Schwarzschild black holes
Ripunjay Dwivedi, Manus R. Visser
We construct reversible black hole heat engines in asymptotically flat spacetime using quasi-local gravitational thermodynamics. We enclose a Schwarzschild black hole in a finite s…
Black hole equations of state and response functions
Silvester G. A. Borsboom, Manus R. Visser
We systematically develop a framework for equilibrium thermodynamics in terms of thermodynamic representations, which are choices of thermodynamic potential and independent variabl…
Holographic Stirling engines and the route to Carnot efficiency
Nikesh Lilani, Manus R. Visser
We compute the efficiency of the reversible Stirling engine, with and without regeneration, for a broad class of working substances including Van der Waals fluids, quantum ideal ga…
Holographic pressure and volume for black holes
Silvester Borsboom, Manus R. Visser
We advocate for a holographic definition of thermodynamic pressure and volume for black holes based on quasi-local gravitational thermodynamics. When a black hole is enclosed by a…
Dynamical entropy of charged black objects
Manus R. Visser, Zihan Yan
We develop a general framework for electromagnetic potential-charge contributions to the first law of black hole mechanics, applicable to dynamical first-order perturbations of sta…
Heat engines for scale invariant systems dual to black holes
Nikesh Lilani, Manus R. Visser
According to holography, a black hole is dual to a thermal state in a strongly coupled quantum system. One of the best-known examples of holography is the Anti-de Sitter/Conformal…
deformations from AdS to dS
Sergio E. Aguilar-Gutierrez, Andrew Svesko, Manus R. Visser
We revisit the formalism of deformations for quantum theories that are holographically dual to two-dimensional dilaton-gravity theories with Dirichlet…
Holographic dictionary for Lifshitz and hyperscaling violating black holes
Wan Cong, David Kubizňák, Robert B. Mann +1
We develop a novel holographic dictionary for the thermodynamics of black holes with Lifshitz and hyperscaling violating asymptotics, generalizing the dictionary for Anti-de Sitter…
Properties of Dynamical Black Hole Entropy
Manus R. Visser, Zihan Yan
We study the first law for non-stationary perturbations of a stationary black hole whose event horizon is a Killing horizon, that relates the first-order change in the mass and ang…
Extremal Black Hole Decay in de Sitter Space
Lars Aalsma, Jan Pieter van der Schaar, Manus Visser
The decay of extremal charged black holes has been a useful guidance to derive consistency conditions in quantum gravity. In de Sitter space it has been argued that requiring (extr…
Reentrant phase transitions of quantum black holes
Antonia M. Frassino, Juan F. Pedraza, Andrew Svesko +1
We show backreaction of quantum fields on black hole geometries can trigger new thermal phase transitions. Specifically, we study the phase behavior of the three-dimensional quantu…
Holographic CFT Phase Transitions and Criticality for Rotating AdS Black Holes
Moaathe Belhaj Ahmed, Wan Cong, David Kubiznak +2
Employing the novel exact dictionary between the laws of extended black hole thermodynamics and the laws of the dual CFT, we study the extended thermodynamics for CFT states that a…
Holographic dual of extended black hole thermodynamics
Moaathe Belhaj Ahmed, Wan Cong, David Kubizňák +2
By respecting the conformal symmetry of the dual CFT, and treating the conformal factor of the AdS boundary as a thermodynamic parameter, we formulate the holographic first law tha…
Higher-dimensional origin of extended black hole thermodynamics
Antonia M. Frassino, Juan F. Pedraza, Andrew Svesko +1
Holographic braneworlds are used to present a higher-dimensional origin of extended black hole thermodynamics. In this framework, classical, asymptotically anti-de Sitter black hol…
Action, entropy and pair creation rate of charged black holes in de Sitter space
Edward K. Morvan, Jan Pieter van der Schaar, Manus R. Visser
We compute and clarify the interpretation of the on-shell Euclidean action for Reissner-Nordström black holes in de Sitter space. We show the on-shell action is minus the sum of th…
Entropy of causal diamond ensembles
Ted Jacobson, Manus R. Visser
We define a canonical ensemble for a gravitational causal diamond by introducing an artificial York boundary inside the diamond with a fixed induced metric and temperature, and eva…
Partition function for a volume of space
Ted Jacobson, Manus R. Visser
We consider the quantum gravity partition function that counts the dimension of the Hilbert space of a spatial region with topology of a ball and fixed proper volume, and evaluate…
Late-Time Correlators and Complex Geodesics in de Sitter Space
Lars Aalsma, Mir Mehedi Faruk, Jan Pieter van der Schaar +2
We study two-point correlation functions of a massive free scalar field in de Sitter space using the heat kernel formalism. Focusing on two operators in conjugate static patches we…
The minus sign in the first law of de Sitter horizons
Batoul Banihashemi, Ted Jacobson, Andrew Svesko +1
Due to a well-known, but curious, minus sign in the Gibbons-Hawking first law for the static patch of de Sitter space, the entropy of the cosmological horizon is reduced by the add…
Black holes in dS
Roberto Emparan, Juan F. Pedraza, Andrew Svesko +2
In three-dimensional de Sitter space classical black holes do not exist, and the Schwarzschild-de Sitter solution instead describes a conical defect with a single cosmological hori…
Black hole entropy and long strings
Erik P. Verlinde, Manus R. Visser
We discuss whether black hole entropy counts short or long range microstates in quantum gravity. In brick wall and induced gravity models the entropy arises due to short distance c…
On the Euclidean Action of de Sitter Black Holes and Constrained Instantons
Edward K. Morvan, Jan Pieter van der Schaar, Manus R. Visser
We compute the on-shell Euclidean action of Schwarzschild-de Sitter black holes, and take their contributions in the gravitational path integral into account using the formalism of…
Quasi-local energy and microcanonical entropy in two-dimensional nearly de Sitter gravity
Andrew Svesko, Evita Verheijden, Erik P. Verlinde +1
We study the semi-classical thermodynamics of two-dimensional de Sitter space () in Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity coupled to conformal matter. We extend the quasi-l…
Holographic CFT Phase Transitions and Criticality for Charged AdS Black Holes
Wan Cong, David Kubiznak, Robert Mann +1
We study the hololgraphic dual of the extended thermodynamics of spherically symmetric, charged AdS black holes in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence. The gravitational ther…
