Action and entropy of black holes in spacetimes with a cosmological constant

Abstract: In the Euclidean path integral approach, we calculate the actions and the entropies for the Reissner-Nordström-de Sitter solutions. When the temperatures of black hole and cosmological horizons are equal, the entropy is the sum of one-quarter areas of black hole and cosmological horizons; when the inner and outer black hole horizons coincide, the entropy is only one-quarter area of cosmological horizon; and the entropy vanishes when the two black hole horizons and cosmological horizon coincide. We also calcula… Show more

“…The situation we have is identical to that for the lukewarm RNdS black holes without a scalar field [5,6], namely the action (25) does not equal minus the total entropy. However, as discussed in [6,18], we are dealing with an instanton manifold of finite spatial extent and so our action I E is the microcanonical action, which means that the entropy S must be given by S = −I E [18].…”

“…Especially researchers pay widespread attention to the statistical origin of the black hole entropy. Many methods of calculating entropy have emerged [4][5][6][7][8][9]. One of them is the well-known brick-wall method [7].…”

“…The geometric features of black hole temperature and entropy seem to imply that the black hole thermodynamics is closely related to nontrivial topological structure of spacetime. In [49] Cai, et al in order to relate the entropy with Euler characteristic χ of the corresponding Euclidean manifolds have been presented the following relation…”
