| Vienna Theory Lunch Club - Black Hole Thermodynamics à la Information Geometry |
| Speaker: | Narit Pidokrajt (Stockholm University) |
| Abstract: | In this talk we will discuss the use of information (a.k.a. Ruppeiner) geometry to understand thermodynamics of various black holes e.g. 2D dilaton black holes, Myers-Perry black holes in higher dimensions among others. It has been known that the geometrical theory of thermodynamics provides an alternative and elegant route to obtain insight into thermodynamics through Riemannian geometry. Its power is due to the fact that the information metric together with its associated curvature and signature encodes many aspects of thermodynamics consistent with the known results in the literature. Since we do not yet have a settled statistical mechanics of black holes, the information geometry of black hole thermodynamics also paves a road to a (possibly) new way of understanding of the microscopic degrees of freedom of the black holes. There are many potential applications of this geometric method as there are emerging black objects in higher dimensions and black hole analogs which require new perspectives in order to better understand them.
