چکیده

The entropy and the attractor equations for static extremal black hole solutions follow from a variational principle based on an entropy function. In the general case such an entropy function can be derived from the reduced action evaluated in a near-horizon geometry. BPS black holes constitute special solutions of this variational principle, but they can also be derived directly from a different entropy function based on supersymmetry enhancement at the horizon. Both functions are consistent with electric/magnetic duality and for BPS black holes their corresponding OSV-type integrals give identical results at the semi-classical level. We clarify the relation between the two entropy functions and the corresponding at-tractor equations for N = 2 supergravity theories with higher-derivative couplings in four space-time dimensions. We discuss how non-holomorphic corrections will modify these entropy functions.

Exact Counting of Black Hole Microstates

The exact entropy of two-charge supersymmetric black holes in N = 4 string theories is computed to all orders using Wald’s formula and the supersymmetric attractor equations with an effective action that includes the relevant higher curvature terms. Classically, these black holes have zero area but the attractor equations are still applicable at the quantum level. The quantum corrected macrosco...

Entropy function for rotating extremal black holes in very special geometry

We use the relation between extremal black hole solutions in five-and in four-dimensional N = 2 supergravity theories with cubic prepotentials to define the entropy function for extremal black holes with one angular momentum in five dimensions. We construct two types of solutions to the associated attractor equations .

Multivalued Entropy of Supersymmetric Black Holes

The supersymmetric flow equations describing the flow of moduli from infinity to the black hole horizon, and vice versa, are derived in the five-dimensional theories where the moduli space of the very special geometry has disjoint branches. The multiple solutions are derived from the ‘off the horizon’ attractor equation. Within each branch, the black hole entropy, as usual, depends only on the ...

Born-Infeld Corrections to the Entropy Function of Heterotic Black Holes

We use the black hole entropy function to study the effect of Born-Infeld terms on the entropy of extremal black holes in heterotic string theory in four dimensions. We find that the Born-Infeld terms are capable of stretching the horizon of a small black hole, only after the addition of a set of higher curvature terms. We add Gauss-Bonnet terms to the effective action and study the solutions o...

The phase transition of corrected black hole with f(R) gravity

In this letter, we consider static black hole in f(R) gravity.We take advantage from corrected entropy and temperature and investigate such black hole. Finally, we study the $ P - V $ critically and phase transition of corrected black hole with respect to entropy and temperature. Here also, we obtain the heat capacity for the static black hole in $ f(R) $ gravity. This calculation help us...
