On the Thermodynamics of Gödel Black Holes
نویسندگان
چکیده
After a brief review of Gödel-type universes in string theory, we discuss some intriguing properties of black holes immersed in such backgrounds. Among these are the upper bound on the entropy that points towards a finite-dimensional Hilbert space of a holographically dual theory, and the minimum black hole temperature that is reminiscent of the Hawking-Page transition. Furthermore, we discuss several difficulties that are encountered when one tries to formulate a consistent thermodynamics of Gödel black holes, and point out how they may be circumvented.

Large rotating AdS black holes from fluid mechanics
We use the AdS/CFT correspondence to argue that large rotating black holes in global AdSD spaces are dual to stationary solutions of the relativistic NavierStokes equations on SD−2. Reading off the equation of state of this fluid from the thermodynamics of non-rotating black holes, we proceed to construct the nonlinear spinning solutions of fluid mechanics that are dual to rotating black holes....
متن کاملBlack holes in Gödel-type universes with a cosmological constant
We discuss supersymmetric black holes embedded in a Gödel-type universe with cosmological constant in five dimensions. The spacetime is a fibration over a four-dimensional Kähler base manifold, and generically has closed timelike curves. Asymptotically the space approaches a deformation of AdS5, which suggests that the appearance of closed timelike curves should have an interpretation in some d...

As in the grand canonical treatment of Reissner-Nordström black holes in anti-de Sitter spacetime, the canonical ensemble formulation also shows that non-extremal black holes tend to have lower action than extremal ones. However, some small non-extremal black holes have higher action, leading to the possibility of transitions between non-extremal and extremal black holes. Black hole thermodynam...

متن کاملSupersymmetric Gödel and warped black holes in string theory
It is observed that three-dimensional Gödel black holes can be promoted to exact string theory backgrounds through an orbifold of an hyperbolic asymmetric marginal deformation of the SL(2,R) WZW model. Tachyons are found in the spectrum of long strings. Uplifting these solutions in type IIB supergravity, extremal black holes are shown to preserve one supersymmetry in accordance with the BTZ lim...
