Entropy of thin shells in a (2+1)-dimensional asymptotically AdS spacetime and the BTZ black hole limit

Abstract: The thermodynamic equilibrium states of a static thin ring shell in a (2+1)-dimensional spacetime with a negative cosmological constant are analyzed. Inside the ring, the spacetime is pure anti-de Sitter (AdS), whereas outside it is a Bañados-Teitelbom-Zanelli (BTZ) spacetime and thus asymptotically AdS. The first law of thermodynamics applied to the thin shell, plus one equation of state for the shell's pressure and another for its temperature, leads to a shell's entropy, which is a function of its gravitatio… Show more

“…It is surely interesting to see if the thermodynamic properties for black holes and self-gravitating matter are reproduced in dimensions different from four and in spacetimes with a cosmological constant. In three dimensions, thermodynamic properties of thin shells in BTZ non-rotating and rotating spacetimes have been studied [22][23][24][25] with results that, even in one lower dimension and with the inclusion of a cosmological constant and rotation, somehow repeat the four-dimensional results, confirming that the BTZ spacetime is a good bed test for four-dimensional general relativity. On the other hand, the study of higher d-dimensional self-gravitating shells has not been performed.…”

“…(19), both the shell's rest mass M and pressure p go to zero, as one can check in Eqs. (21) and (22). Because k → 1, the temperature is T = 1/b and its behavior at the large d limit depends on the sign of the equation of state exponent a, as can be seen in Eq.…”

“…Indeed, thin shells, besides giving instances of static and dynamic spacetimes, allow themselves to be scrutinized in relation to their entropic and thermodynamic matter and gravitational properties, and even from those properties to pick up the corresponding black hole properties. For static and rotating circularly symmetric thin shells, i.e., thin rings, in (2+1)-dimensional Bañados-Teitelbom-Zanelli (BTZ) spacetimes their entropic and thermodynamic properties have been worked out in general and in the limit where the ring is taken to its own gravitational, or horizon, radius, i.e., in the black hole limit [1][2][3][4]. For static electric charged spherically symmetric thin shells in (3+1)-dimensional Reissner-Nordström spacetimes these properties have also been worked out in detail in general and in the black hole limit [5][6][7], see also [8] for neutral thin shells in Schwarzschild spacetimes.…”

“…Related studies, where the entropy of black holes can be studied through systems with matter, involve quasiblack holes for which matter is spread over a 3-dimensional spatial region rather than on a 2-dimensional thin shell [9,10], or are connected to a quasistatic collapse of matter [11]. These works [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] stem from the fact that the concept of entropy is originally based on quantum properties of matter, and so it is very important to study whether and how black hole thermodynamics could emerge from thermodynamics of collapsing matter, when matter is compressed within its own gravitational radius. Conversely, it is through black hole entropy that we can grasp the microscopic aspects of a spacetime and hence of quantum gravity, and the fact that thermodynamics of a thin shell reflects thermodynamic properties of a black hole formed after quasistatic collapse of the shell indicates some connection between matter and gravitational degrees of freedom.…”
