  • De Sitter Black Holes, Schottky Peaks, and Continuous Heat Engines
    arXiv:1907.05883 de Sitter Black Holes, Schottky Peaks and Continuous Heat Engines Clifford V. Johnson Department of Physics and Astronomy University of Southern California Los Angeles, CA 90089-0484, U.S.A. johnson1 [at] usc [dot] edu Abstract Recent work has uncovered Schottky{like peaks in the temperature dependence of key specific heats of certain black hole thermodynamic systems. They signal a finite window of available energy states for the underlying microscopic degrees of freedom. This paper reports on new families of peaks, found for the Kerr and Reissner–Nordstr¨omblack holes in a spacetime with positive cosmological constant. It is known that a system with a highest energy, when coupled arXiv:1907.05883v3 [hep-th] 2 Aug 2019 to two distinct heat baths, can naturally generate a thermodynamic instability, population inversion, a channel for work output. It is noted that these features are all present for de Sitter black holes. It is shown that there are trajectories in parameter space where they behave as generalized masers, operating as continuous heat engines, doing work by shedding angular momentum. It is suggested that bounds on efficiency due to the second law of thermodynamics for general de Sitter black hole solutions could provide powerful consistency checks. 1 Introduction An examination of the behaviour of certain thermodynamic quantities can provide a wealth of useful information about the underlying microscopic quantum mechanical degrees of freedom, sometimes providing key clues as to the formulation of the underlying model. This has a long history, start- ing with early models of gases provided by Einstein [1] (refined by Debye [2]), that derive the temperature dependence of the specific heat at constant volume, CV (T ) starting from simple sta- tistical mechanical considerations of the basic degrees of freedom (for a review see e.g., refs.

  • An Introduction to Black Hole Evaporation
    An Introduction to Black Hole Evaporation Jennie Traschen Department of Physics University of Massachusetts Amherst, MA 01003-4525 [email protected] ABSTRACT Classical black holes are defined by the property that things can go in, but don’t come out. However, Stephen Hawking calculated that black holes actually radiate quantum mechanical particles. The two important ingredients that result in back hole evapora- tion are (1) the spacetime geometry, in particular the black hole horizon, and (2) the fact that the notion of a “particle” is not an invariant concept in quantum field theory. These notes con- tain a step-by-step presentation of Hawking’s calculation. We review portions of quantum field theory in curved spacetime and basic results about static black hole geometries, so that the dis- cussion is self-contained. Calculations are presented for quantum particle production for an accelerated observer in flat spacetime, arXiv:gr-qc/0010055v1 13 Oct 2000 a black hole which forms from gravitational collapse, an eternal Schwarzschild black hole, and charged black holes in asymptot- ically deSitter spacetimes. The presentation highlights the sim- ilarities in all these calculations. Hawking radiation from black holes also points to a profound connection between black hole dynamics and classical thermodynamics. A theory of quantum gravity must predicting and explain black hole thermodynamics. We briefly discuss these issues and point out a connection be- tween black hole evaportaion and the positive mass theorems in general relativity. Table of Contents 1. Introduction 2.

  • Newsletter SPRING 2019 Issue No
    PHYSICSNewsletter SPRING 2019 Issue No. 19 UMassAmherst Physics Strain in Thin Sheets Addressing a physics problem that dates back to Galileo, three UMass Amherst researchers proposed a new approach to the theory of how thin sheets can be forced to conform to “geometrically incompatible” shapes – think gift-wrapping a basketball. Their new approach relies on weaving together two fundamental ideas of geometry and mechanics that were long thought to be irreconcilable. Theoretical physicist, Prof. Benny Davidovitch, polymer scientist Prof. Gregory Grason and Physics doctoral student Yiwei Sun, writing in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, demonstrate via numerical simulations that naturally flat sheets forced to change their curvature can accommodate geometrically-required strain by developing microscopic wrinkles that bend the sheet instead of stretching it to the breaking point, a solution that furthermore costs less energy. This advance is important as biotechnologists increasingly attempt to control the level of strain encountered in thin films conforming to complex, curving and 3D shapes of the human body, for example, in flexible and wearable sensors for personalized health monitoring. Many of these devices rely on electrical properties of the film that are shown to be highly vulnerable to stretching but that can tolerate some bending. The figure shows what happens when a curved elastic shell is forced by confinement to change According to Benny, nonconformities that come with bending are so small from spherical to flat. If it wrinkles enough, the that, in practical terms, they cost almost no energy. “By offering efficient shell can flatten almost without stretching. Image strategies to manage the strain, predict it and control it, we offer a new courtesy of UMass Amherst/G.

We compute the bubble contributions to the Smarr relations and the mass and tension first laws for spacetimes containing both black holes and Killing bubbles. The resulting relations display an interesting interchange symmetry arXiv:0803.2019v1 [hep-th] 13 Mar 2008 between the properties of black hole horizons and those of KK bubbles. This interchange symmetry reflects the underlying relation between static bubbles and black holes under double analytic continuation of the time and Kaluza- Klein directions.

  • Tension Perturbations of Black Brane Spacetimes
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by CERN Document Server Tension Perturbations of Black Brane Spacetimes Jennie Traschen 1 and Daniel Fox2 1 Department of Physics, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA 01003-4525 2Hampshire College and Department of Mathematics, Duke University Abstract We consider black-brane spacetimes that have at least one spatial trans- lation Killing field that is tangent to the brane. A new parameter, the ten- sion of a spacetime, is defined. The tension parameter is associated with spatial translations in much the same way that the ADM mass is associated with the time translation Killing field. In this work, we explore the impli- cations of the spatial translation symmetry for small perturbations around a background black brane. For static charged black branes we derive a law which relates the tension perturbation to the surface gravity times the change in the the horizon area, plus terms that involve variations in the charges and currents. We find that as a black brane evaporates the tension decreases. We also give a simple derivation of a first law for black brane spacetimes. These constructions hold when the background stress-energy is governed by a Hamiltonian, and the results include arbitrary perturbative stress-energy sources. 1 [email protected] 2 [email protected] 1. Introduction and Summary of Results In this paper, we introduce a new gravitational charge, the spacetime tension. The idea of the tension of a spacetime is simple. A particle-type object, like a billiard ball, has a rest mass.

We specifically consider the thermodynamics of higher-dimensional rotating asymptotically flat and AdS black holes and black rings in a canonical (fixed angular momentum) ensemble. We plot the associated thermodynamic potential—the Gibbs free energy—and study its behavior to uncover possible thermodynamic phase transitions in these black hole spacetimes.
