“…The basic observation is that when one adiabatically shrinks a black hole horizon to the string scale, its thermodynamic properties are qualitatively the same as a generic string state with the same energy [5,6]. A canonical version of the correspondence principle was offered in [7] in terms of the thermal string theory partition function on (asymptotically) R d × S 1 (see also [8][9][10][11][12][13][14]). For near-Hagedorn temperatures β − β H l s , the first string winding mode χ around the thermal circle is parametrically lighter than the string scale.…”

We study the 'string star' saddle, also known as the Horowitz-Polchinski solution, in the middle of d + 1 dimensional thermal AdS space. We show that there's a regime of temperatures in which the saddle is very similar to the flat space solution found by Horowitz and Polchinski. This saddle is hypothetically connected at lower temperatures to the small AdS black hole saddle. We also study, numerically and analytically, how the solutions are changed due to the AdS geometry for higher temperatures. Specifically, we describe how the solution joins with the thermal gas phase, and find the leading correction to the Hagedorn temperature due to the AdS curvature. Finally, we study the thermodynamic instabilities of the solution and argue for a Gregory-Laflamme-like instability whenever extra dimensions are present at the AdS curvature scale.

“…As originally suggested by Dabholkar [15], recent papers [16,17], argued that the winding condensate accounts for the entire Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of the black holes, specifically when taking into account the back reaction it induces [18]. However, the result seemed too good to be true for several reasons.…”

We show that the entropy of strings that wind around the Euclidean time circle is proportional to the Noether charge associated with translations along the T-dual time direction. We consider an effective target-space field theory which includes a large class of terms in the action with various modes, interactions and α′ corrections. The entropy and the Noether charge are shown to depend only on the values of fields at the boundary of space. The classical entropy, which is proportional to the inverse of Newton’s constant, is then calculated by evaluating the appropriate boundary term for various geometries with and without a horizon. We verify, in our framework, that for higher-curvature pure gravity theories, the Wald entropy of static neutral black hole solutions is equal to the entropy derived from the Gibbons-Hawking boundary term. We then proceed to discuss horizonless geometries which contain, due to the back-reaction of the strings and branes, a second boundary in addition to the asymptotic boundary. Near this “punctured” boundary, the time-time component of the metric and the derivatives of its logarithm approach zero. Assuming that there are such non-singular solutions, we identify the entropy of the strings and branes in this geometry with the entropy of the solution to all orders in α′. If the asymptotic region of an α′-corrected neutral black hole is connected through the bulk to a puncture, then the black hole entropy is equal to the entropy of the strings and branes. Later, we discuss configurations similar to the charged black p-brane solutions of Horowitz and Strominger, with the second boundary, and show that, to leading order in the α′ expansion, the classical entropy of the strings and branes is equal exactly to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. This result is extended to a configuration that asymptotes to AdS.

“…However, black holes are fascinating compact objects where the spacetime surrounded them is severely curved in such a way that an observer, being outside their event horizons, cannot observe anything inside the black hole event horizons. Therefore, the statistical origin of the black hole entropy is hidden from the rest of the universe, which leads to some important open questions on counting black hole microstates and calculating its corresponding entropy from the first principle [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11].…”

Recently, a novel emergent phase can occur from thermodynamic consideration of the asymptotically flat Reissner-Nordström black hole (RN-AF) using Rényi statistics. We present an analysis of the thermodynamical and mechanical stabilities of the RN-AF in both the Gibbs-Boltzmann (GB) and the alternative Rényi statistics when charge q and electrostatic potential φ are treated as pressure and volume, respectively. Interestingly, the emergent phase of the RN-AF can be both thermodynamically and mechanically stable in some range of parameters in the framework of Rényi thermodynamics. With the construction of the Maxwell equal area law in q − φ plane, the coexistence line between the near-extremal black hole phase and the emergent phase can be found in some values of charge which can be associated as the vapor pressure at which the liquid and gas phases coexist. In the aspect of thermodynamic geometry, the microscopic interaction between the black hole microstructures can be repulsive in the Rényi description. This implies that a novel correlation between the microstates of a self-gravitating system could be emerged via the nonextensive nature of long-range interaction systems. Finally, we also investigate the critical phenomena of the RN-AF in Rényi statistics compared to that of the van der Waals (vdW) fluid and find that the critical exponents of the relevant physical quantities of both systems are identical. This implies that both systems are in the same universality class of the phase transition.
