In the context of a model of space-time foam, made by N wormholes we discuss the possibility of having a foam formed by different configurations. An equivalence between Schwarzschild and Schwarzschild-Anti-de Sitter wormholes in terms of Casimir energy is shown. An argument to discriminate which configuration could represent a foamy vacuum coming from Schwarzschild black hole transition frequencies is used. The case of a positive cosmological constant is also discussed. Finally, a discussion involving charged wormholes leads to the conclusion that they cannot be used to represent a ground state of the foamy type.

In this paper, we investigate the thermodynamical properties of Schwarzschild–Beltrami–de Sitter (S–BdS) black hole introduced by Yan et al. in 2013 by introducing inertial Beltrami coordinates to traditional non-inertial Schwarzschild–de Sitter (S–dS) metric which is the exact static spherical symmetry solution of Einstein equation with a positive cosmological constant [Formula: see text]. Based on this new metric, we compute entropy on all horizons and we give the entropy bound of the black hole. Hawking temperatures are calculated by considering a perturbation to entropy relations due to that the spacetime described by these inertial coordinates is no longer a stationary spacetime in which surface gravity related to Hawking temperature is defined well on killing horizon. We also get the Smarr relations and the first law of thermodynamics. We find that the S–BdS black hole seems to have similar thermodynamical properties to S–dS black hole in the comparison between their corresponding thermodynamical quantities, although the new black hole metric is described by inertial coordinates which exclude the effects of inertial force.

Abstract We study some aspects of the de Sitter version of Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity. Though we do not have propagating gravitons, we have a boundary mode when we compute observables with a fixed dilaton and metric at the boundary. We compute the no-boundary wavefunctions and probability measures to all orders in perturbation theory. We also discuss contributions from different topologies, borrowing recent results by Saad, Shenker and Stanford. We discuss how the boundary mode leads to gravitational corrections to cosmological observables when we add matter. Finally, starting from a four dimensional gravity theory with a positive cosmological constant, we consider a nearly extremal black hole and argue that some observables are dominated by the two dimensional nearly de Sitter gravity dynamics.

In a previous paper, we have derived the Hawking temperature T H = 1/8πM for a Schwarzschild black hole of mass M, starting from the Wheeler–DeWitt for the wave function Ψ on the apparent horizon, due to Tomimatsu. Here we discuss the derivation of this result in greater detail, with particular regard to the Euclideanization procedure involved and the boundary conditions on the horizon. Further, analysis of the de Sitter space-time generated by a cosmological constant Λ yields the temperature [Formula: see text] found by Gibbons and Hawking, which thus vindicates the method. The emission of radiation occurs with preservation of unitarity, and hence entropy, which is substantiated by a global thermodynamical argument in the case of the black hole.

The relationship between the entropy of de Sitter (dS) Schwarzschild space and that of the CFT, which lives on the brane, is discussed by using Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) equations and Cardy–Verlinde formula. The cosmological constant appears on the brane with time-like metric in dS Schwarzschild background. On the other hand, in case of the brane with space-like metric in dS Schwarzschild background, the cosmological constant of the brane does not appear because we can choose brane tension to cancel it. We show that when the brane crosses the horizon of dS Schwarzschild black hole, both for time-like and space-like cases, the entropy of the CFT exactly agrees with the black hole entropy of five-dimensional dS background as it happens in the AdS/CFT correspondence.

The main purpose of this paper is to study quasinormal modes (QNM) of a black hole in massive gravity with a positive cosmological constant due to electromagnetic perturbations. A detailed study of the QNM frequencies for the electromagnetic field is done by varying the parameters of the theory such as the mass, scalar charge, cosmological constant, and the spherical harmonic index. We have employed the sixth-order WKB approximation to calculate the QNM frequencies. The electromagnetic potential for the near extreme massive gravity de Sitter black hole is approximated with the Pöschl–Teller potential to obtain exact frequencies. The null geodesics of the black hole in massive gravity is employed to describe the absorption cross-sections at high-frequency limit.

Numerical arguments are presented for the existence of regular and black hole solutions of the Einstein–Skyrme equations with a positive cosmological constant. These classical configurations approach asymptotically the de Sitter spacetime. The main properties of the solutions and the differences with respect to the asymptotically flat ones are discussed. In particular our results suggest that, for a positive cosmological constant, the mass evaluated as timelike infinity in infinite. Special emphasis is set to de Sitter black holes Skyrmions which display two horizons.

Gravitational radiation plays an important role in astrophysics. Based on the fact that our universe is expanding, the gravitational radiation when a positive cosmological constant is presented has been studied along with two different ways recently, one is the Bondi–Sachs (BS) framework in which the result is shown by BS quantities in the asymptotic null structure, the other is the perturbation approach in which the result is presented by the quadrupoles of source. Therefore, it is worth to interpret the quantities in asymptotic null structure in terms of the information of the source. In this paper, we investigate this problem and find the explicit expressions of BS quantities in terms of the quadrupoles of source in asymptotically de Sitter spacetime. We also estimate how far away the source is, the cosmological constant may affect the detection of the gravitational wave.

A toy model based upon the q-deformation description for studying the radiation spectrum of black hole is proposed. The starting point is to make an attempt to consider the space–time noncommutativity in the vicinity of black hole horizon. We use a trick that all the space–time noncommutative effects are ascribed to the modification of the behavior of the radiation field of black hole and a kind of q-deformed degrees of freedom are postulated to mimic the radiation particles that live on the noncommutative space–time, meanwhile the background metric is preserved as usual. We calculate the radiation spectrum of Schwarzschild black hole in this framework. The new distribution deviates from the standard thermal spectrum evidently. The result indicates that some correlation effect will be introduced to the system if the noncommutativity is taken into account. In addition, an infrared cutoff of the spectrum is the prediction of the model.
