Two-horizon sector thermodynamics and NUT bi-hair in Kerr-Newman-NUT spacetimes

Di Wu, Robert B. Mann, Shuang-Qing Wu

First law consistency alone does not determine the black hole state space of NUT-charged spacetimes, because several inequivalent macroscopic formulations can yield consistent ther…

Two-Horizon Sector Thermodynamics as a Diagnostic for the Bi-Hair Organization of NUT Charge

Di Wu, Robert B. Mann, Shuang-Qing Wu

After decades without a fully self-consistent thermodynamic formulation, recent proposals for Lorentzian Taub-NUT spacetime have yielded several inequivalent descriptions, each sat…

Black Hole Chemistry: the first 15 years

Robert B. Mann

The introduction of thermodynamics into gravitational physics began 5 decades ago with the discovery that black holes behave like thermodynamic systems once semiclassical quantum e…

Thermal Fisher information for a rotating BTZ black hole

Everett A. Patterson, Robert B. Mann

Relativistic quantum metrology provides a framework within which we can quantify the quality of measurement and estimation procedures while accounting for both quantum and relativi…

Quenched entanglement harvesting

Adrian Lopez-Raven, Robert B. Mann, Jorma Louko

Ultracold fermionic atoms in an optical lattice, with a sudden position-dependent change (a quench) in the effective dispersion relation, have been proposed by Rodríguez-Laguna et…

Harvesting Information Across the Horizon

S. Wang, M. R. Preciado Rivas, R. B. Mann

The effect of black holes on entanglement harvesting has been of considerable interest over the past decade. Research involving stationary Unruh-DeWitt (UDW) detectors near a (2+1)…

Deep in the knotted black hole

Massimiliano Spadafora, Manar Naeem, María R. Preciado-Rivas +2

We consider the transition rate of a freely falling Unruh-DeWitt detector, coupled linearly to a massless scalar quantum field prepared in the Hartle-Hawking-Israel state, as a pro…

Novel topological classes in black hole thermodynamics

Di Wu, Wentao Liu, Shuang-Qing Wu +1

By viewing black hole solutions as topological defects in thermodynamic parameter space, we unveil a novel topological class and two new topological subclasses, respectively denote…

Probing hidden topology with quantum detectors

Dyuman Bhattacharya, Jorma Louko, Robert B. Mann

We consider the transition rate of a static Unruh-DeWitt detector in two -dimensional black hole spacetimes that are isometric to the static Bañados-Teitelboim-Zanelli black…

Universal topological classifications of black hole thermodynamics

Shao-Wen Wei, Yu-Xiao Liu, Robert B. Mann

In this Letter, we investigate the universal classifications of black hole states by considering them as topological defects within the thermodynamic parameter space. Through the a…

Singular excitement beyond the horizon of a rotating black hole

Sijia Wang, María Rosa Preciado-Rivas, Massimiliano Spadafora +1

Previous studies have shown that an Unruh-DeWitt (UDW) detector, when coupled linearly to a massless scalar field and permitted to fall radially into certain black holes, will exhi…

More Excitement Across the Horizon

María R. Preciado-Rivas, Manar Naeem, Robert B. Mann +1

An Unruh-DeWitt (UDW) detector falling radially into a four-dimensional Schwarzschild black hole, coupled linearly to a massless scalar field that has been prepared in the Hartle-H…

Measuring black hole spin through gravitational lensing of pulsars

Amjad Ashoorioon, Mohammad Bagher Jahani Poshteh, Robert B. Mann

We propose a new procedure for measuring the spin of a black hole with an unprecedented accuracy based on the gravitational lensing of millisecond pulsars. We derive the basic equa…

Microscopic Origin of Black Hole Reentrant Phase Transitions

M. Kord Zangeneh, A. Dehyadegari, A. Sheykhi +1

Understanding the microscopic behavior of the black holes ingredients has been one of the important challenges in black holes physics during the past decades. In order to shed some…

Speeding up Entanglement Degradation

R. B. Mann, V. M Villalba

Entanglement between two free bosonic modes can be determined via detection of each mode by different observers and then observing the correlations between their measurements. We s…
