Thermo Field Dynamics

In this paper, we examine the implications of the ongoing black holes versus firewalls debate for the thermo-field dynamics of black holes by analyzing a conformal field theory (CFT) in a thermal state in the context of anti-de Sitter/CFT. We argue that the thermo-field doubled copy of the thermal CFT should be thought of not as a fictitious system, but as the image of the CFT in the heat bath. In case of strong coupling between the CFT and the heat bath, this image allows for free infall through the horizon and the system is described by a black hole. Conversely, firewalls are the appropriate dual description in case of weak interaction of the CFT with its heat bath.

Entropy Of Black Hole

In this paper we discuss the question of whether the entropy of cosmological horizon in topological Reissner–Nordström–de Sitter spaces can be described by the Cardy–Verlinde formula, which is supposed to be an entropy formula of conformal field theory in any dimension. Furthermore, we find that the entropy of black hole horizon can also be rewritten in terms of the Cardy–Verlinde formula for these black holes in de Sitter spaces, if we use the definition due to Abbott and Deser for conserved charges in asymptotically de Sitter spaces. Our result is in favour of the dS/CFT correspondence.

We argue that a nonperturbative description of quantum gravity should involve two (noninteracting) copies of a dual field theory on the boundary, and describe the states of the spacetimes accordingly. So, for instance, a complete description of the asymptotically Anti-de-Sitter (AdS) spacetimes is given by two copies of the conformal field theory (CFT) associated to the global AdS spacetime. We also argue that, in this context, gravitational collapse and formation of a black hole may be described by unitary evolution of the dual nonperturbative degrees of freedom.

Extremal Black Holes

We consider Kerr–Newman–AdS–dS black holes near extremality and work out the near-horizon geometry of these near-extremal black holes. We identify the exact U (1)L× U (1)R isometries of the near-horizon geometry and provide boundary conditions enhancing them to a pair of commuting Virasoro algebras. The conserved charges of the corresponding asymptotic symmetries are found to be well-defined and nonvanishing and to yield central charges cL≠0 and cR = 0. The Cardy formula subsequently reproduces the Bekenstein–Hawking entropy of the black hole. This suggests that the near-extremal Kerr–Newman–AdS–dS black hole is holographically dual to a non-chiral two-dimensional conformal field theory.

The Difference

Using a holographic proposal for the geometric entropy we study its behavior in the geometry of Schwarzschild black holes in global AdSp for p = 3, 4, 5. Holographically, the entropy is determined by a minimal surface. On the gravity side, due to the presence of a horizon on the background, generically there are two solutions to the surfaces determining the entanglement entropy. In the case of AdS3, the calculation reproduces precisely the geometric entropy of an interval of length l in a two-dimensional conformal field theory with periodic boundary conditions. We demonstrate that in the cases of AdS4 and AdS5 the sign of the difference of the geometric entropies changes, signaling a transition. Euclideanization implies that various embedding of the holographic surface are possible. We study some of them and find that the transitions are ubiquitous. In particular, our analysis renders a very intricate phase space, showing, for some ranges of the temperature, up to three branches. We observe a remarkable universality in the type of results we obtain from AdS4 and AdS5.

We consider a charged black hole with a scalar field that is coupled to gravity in (2 + 1)-dimensions. We compute the logarithmic corrections to the corresponding system using two approaches. In the first method we take advantage of thermodynamic properties. In the second method we use the metric function that is suggested by conformal field theory. Finally, we compare the results of the two approaches.

Conformal Field

We start by looking at why we believe that black holes have entropy. According to Boltzmann, the entropy is a measure of the number of microstates of a system. We suggest here that the entropy arises from a holographic conformal field theory on the black hole horizon. Finally, we discuss some of the implications for the information paradox.
