Black Hole Thermodynamics and Riemann Surfaces | Kirill Krasnov

18 Feb 2003 | Journal: | Class.Quant.Grav. 20 (2003) 2235-2250 | Subject: | General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology; Complex Variables | gr-qc hep-th math.CV | Affiliation: | AEI | Abstract: | We use the analytic continuation procedure proposed in our earlier works to study the thermodynamics of black holes in 2+1 dimensions. A general black hole in 2+1 dimensions has g handles hidden behind h horizons. The result of the analytic continuation is a hyperbolic 3-manifold having the topology of a handlebody. The boundary of this handlebody is a compact Riemann surface of genus G=2g+h-1. Conformal moduli of this surface encode in a simple way the physical characteristics of the black hole. The moduli space of black holes of a given type (g,h) is then the Schottky space at genus G. The (logarithm of the) thermodynamic partition function of the hole is the Kaehler potential for the Weil-Peterson metric on the Schottky space. Bekenstein bound on the black hole entropy leads us to conjecture a new strong bound on this Kaehler potential. | Source: | arXiv, gr-qc/0302073 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
