Black hole thermodynamics and two-dimensional dilaton gravity theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We relate various black hole solutions in the near-horizon region to black hole solutions in two-dimensional dilaton gravity theories in order to argue that the thermodynamics of black holes in D>4 can be effectively described by the thermodynamics of black holes in two-dimensional dilaton gravity theories. We show that the Bekenstein-Hawking entropies of single-charged dilatonic black holes and dilatonic p branes with an arbitrary dilaton coupling parameter in arbitrary spacetime dimensions are exactly reproduced by the BekensteinHawking entropy of the two-dimensional black hole in the associated two-dimensional dilaton gravity model. We comment that the thermodynamics of a nonextreme stringy four-dimensional black hole with four charges and a five-dimensional black hole with three charges may be effectively described by the thermodynamics of black hole solutions with a constant dilaton field in two-dimensional dilaton gravity theories.

Black Hole Thermodynamics and Hamilton-Jacobi Counterterm
We review the construction of the universal Hamilton-Jacobi counterterm for dilaton gravity in two dimensions, derive the corresponding result in the Cartan formulation and elaborate further upon black hole thermodynamics and semi-classical corrections. Applications include spherically symmetric black holes in arbitrary dimensions with Minkowskior AdS-asymptotics, the BTZ black hole and black h...
متن کاملRuppeiner theory of black hole thermodynamics
The Ruppeiner metric as determined by the Hessian of the Gibbs surface provides a geometric description of thermodynamic systems in equilibrium. An interesting example is a black hole in equilibrium with its own Hawking radiation. In this article, we present results from the Ruppeiner study of various black hole families from different gravity theories e.g. 2D dilaton gravity, BTZ, general rela...
متن کاملNon-existence of a dilaton gravity action for the exact string black hole
We prove that no local diffeomorphism invariant two-dimensional theory of the metric and the dilaton without higher derivatives can describe the exact string black hole solution found a decade ago by Dijkgraaf, Verlinde and Verlinde. One of the key points in this proof is the concept of dilaton-shift invariance. We present and solve (classically) all dilaton-shift invariant theories of two-dime...
متن کاملHamiltonian Thermodynamics of Black Holes in Generic 2-D Dilaton Gravity
We consider the Hamiltonian mechanics and thermodynamics of an eternal black hole in a box of fixed radius and temperature in generic 2-D dilaton gravity. Imposing boundary conditions analoguous to those used by Louko and Whiting for spherically symmetric gravity, we find that the reduced Hamiltonian generically takes the form: H(M,φ+) = σ0E(M,φ+)− N0 2π S(M) where E(M,φ+) is the quasilocal ene...

We consider the Hamiltonian mechanics and thermodynamics of an eternal black hole in a box of xed radius and temperature in generic 2-D dilaton gravity. Imposing boundary conditions analoguous to those used by Louko and Whiting for spherically symmetric gravity, we nd that the reduced Hamilto-nian generically takes the form: where E(M; +) is the quasilocal energy of a black hole of mass M insid...
