Black Hole Entropy Beyond the Wald Term in Nonminimally Coupled Gravity: A Covariant Phase Space Decomposition

Jia-Zhou Liu, Shan-Ping Wu, Shao-Wen Wei +1

We study the entropy of static, spherically symmetric black holes in diffeomorphism-invariant theories with nonminimal matter--curvature couplings, using the covariant phase space…

Topological perspective on bulk boundary thermodynamic equivalence

Si-Jiang Yang, Shan-Ping Wu, Shao-Wen Wei +1

We establish an exact duality between the extended thermodynamics of five-dimensional charged Gauss-Bonnet AdS black holes and the thermodynamic framework of the dual boundary conf…

Exact Black Hole Solutions in Bumblebee Gravity with Lightlike or Spacelike VEVS

Jia-Zhou Liu, Shan-Ping Wu, Shao-Wen Wei +1

Motivated by recent developments in Lorentz-violating theories of gravity, we obtain new black hole solutions within the framework of bumblebee gravity, where the bumblebee vector…

Gravitational partition function under volume constraints

Shan-Ping Wu, Peng Cheng, Shao-Wen Wei

The Euclidean action provides a bridge between gravitational thermodynamics and the partition function. In this work, we further investigate the gravitational partition function un…

Deciphering black hole phase transitions through photon spheres

Si-Jiang Yang, Shan-Ping Wu, Shao-Wen Wei +1

Black hole thermodynamics is a crucial and foundational aspect of black hole physics, yet its observational verification remains exceptionally challenging. The photon sphere of a b…

Exact black hole solutions in gravity with a background Kalb-Ramond field

Jia-Zhou Liu, Shan-Ping Wu, Shao-Wen Wei +1

In this work, we derive exact solutions for four-dimensional static spherically symmetric black holes and three-dimensional rotating black holes within a Lorentz-violating gravity…
