Universal Lichnerowicz Lifting of Near-Horizon Soft Modes

Peng Cheng, Yu-Qi Liu

A remarkable universality appears in the low-temperature quantum thermodynamics of near-extremal black holes, where distinct parent geometries often lead to the same logarithmic te…

On the Universal Cuspy Behavior in Black Hole Shadows

Peng Cheng, Si-Jiang Yang

This work investigates the universality of cusp formation in the shadows of compact objects. The emergence of cusps is accompanied by three interrelated phenomena: a topological ch…

Quantum-corrected black hole thermodynamics from the gravitational path integral

Yu-Qi Liu, Hao-Wei Yu, Peng Cheng

Exploring quantum effects from black hole thermodynamics has always been a pivotal topic. In recent years, the free energy landscape and ensemble-averaged theory based on the Eucli…

Thermodynamics of the Kerr-AdS black hole from an ensemble-averaged theory

Peng Cheng, Jindong Pan, Haichen Xu +1

Exploring the universal structure of the gravitational path integral beyond semi-classical saddles and uncovering a compelling statistical interpretation of black hole thermodynami…

Black hole thermodynamics from an ensemble-averaged theory

Peng Cheng, Yu-Xiao Liu, Shao-Wen Wei

The path integral approach to a quantum theory of gravity is widely regarded as an indispensable strategy. However, determining what additional elements, beyond black hole or AdS s…

Thermodynamics of Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet Black Holes and Ensemble-averaged Theory

Md Sabir Ali, C. Fairoos, C. L. Ahmed Rizwan +2

In this paper, using the ensemble-averaged theory, we define the thermodynamic free energy of Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (EGB) black holes in anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime. This approa…
