EXTREMAL BLACK HOLES AND THE LIMITS OF THE THIRD LAW

From MaRDI portal
Publication:3376487




Abstract: Recent results of quantum field theory on a curved spacetime suggest that extremal black holes are not thermal objects and that the notion of zero temperature is ill-defined for them. If this is correct, one may have to go to a full semiclassical theory of gravity, including backreaction, in order to make sense of the third law of black hole thermodynamics. Alternatively, it is possible that we shall have to drastically revise the status of extremality in black hole thermodynamics.
