Are “Superentropic” black holes superentropic?

Abstract

We study a critical limit in which asymptotically-AdS black holes develop maximal conical deficits and their horizons become non-compact. When applied to stationary rotating black holes this limit coincides with the "ultraspinning limit" and yields the Superentropic black holes whose entropy was derived recently and found to exceed the maximal possible bound imposed by the Reverse Isoperimetric Inequality [1,2]. To gain more insight into this peculiar result, we study this limit in the context of accelerated AdS black holes that have unequal deficits along the polar axes, hence the maximal deficit need not appear on both poles simultaneously. Surprisingly, we find that in the presence of acceleration, the critical limit becomes smooth, and is obtained simply by taking various upper bounds in the parameter space that we elucidate. The Critical black holes thus obtained have many common features with Superentropic black holes, but are manifestly not superentropic. This raises a concern as to whether Superentropic black holes actually are superentropic 1 . We argue that this may not be so and that the original conclusion is likely attributed to the degeneracy of the resulting first law.Keywords: black hole thermodynamics, accelerated black holes, reverse isoperimetric inequality 1 We use the upper case Superentropic to indicate the specific black hole solution, and lower case superentropic to indicate the property that entropy violates the Reverse Isoperimetric Inequality.

Ultra-spinning Chow’s black holes in six-dimensional gauged supergravity and their properties

“…Recently, a new class of so-called ultra-spinning black holes [18][19][20][21] in which one of their rotation angular velocities is boosted to the speed of light, has received considerable interest and enthusiasm. This kind of black hole solutions which can exist in arbitrary dimension D ≥ 4 have a noncompact horizon topology but with a finite area, and are asymptotically (locally) AdS with horizons being topologically spheres with two punctures at the north and south poles.…”

Are ultra-spinning Kerr-Sen-AdS$_4$ black holes always super-entropic ?

“…Up to date, a lot of new superentropic black hole solutions [27][28][29][30][31] from the known rotating AdS black holes have been obtained so far. Very recently, it has been found that the superentropic black hole can also be obtained by running a conical deficit from the usual rotating AdS black hole [32]. In addition, other aspects of the superentropic black holes, including thermodynamic properties [21,27,[29][30][31][33][34][35], horizon geometry [23,27,29], geodesic motion [24], Kerr/CFT correspondence [28][29][30], and so on, have been investigated consequently.…”

The correspondence between thermodynamic curvature and isoperimetric theorem from ultraspinning black hole

“…One is (2 + 1)-dimensional charged Banados-Teitelboim-Zanelli (BTZ) black hole which is the simplest [18][19][20][21][22]. Another important super-entropic black hole is a kind of ultraspinning black hole [23][24][25].…”
