Anti de Sitter black holes

In these introductory notes we define constant curvature spacetimes and discuss their symmetries, basic properties and the construction of their spacetime diagram. We then discuss the important properties of anti de Sitter spacetime giving global and local parametrisations. We study the static black holes and then discuss their basic properties and novel topological effects due to the presence ...

Black Holes in Anti-de Sitter Spacetime

Black holes in anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime are known to be thermodynamically stable against radiation, unlike their asymptotically flat counterparts. Moreover, Hawking and Page discovered that they exhibit a first-order phase transition. This was reinterpreted by Witten using the AdS/CFT correspondence as a confinement/deconfinement transition in the quark-gluon plasma. Extending the gauge/g...

Hawking Radiation from General Kerr-(anti)de Sitter Black Holes

We calculate the total flux of Hawking radiation from Kerr-(anti)de Sitter black holes by using gravitational anomaly method developed in [6]. We consider the general Kerr(anti)de Sitter black holes in arbitrary D dimensions with the maximal number [D/2] of independent rotating parameters. We find that the physics near the horizon can be described by an infinite collection of (1 + 1)-dimensiona...

Geometrothermodynamics of asymptotically de Sitter black holes

We apply the formalism of geometrothermodynamics to the case of black holes with cosmological constant in four and higher dimensions. We use a thermodynamic metric which is invariant with respect to Legendre transformations and determines the geometry of the space of equilibrium states. For all known black holes in higher dimensions, we show that the curvature scalar of the thermodynamic metric...
