Logarithmic corrections to the entropy of near-extremal rotating black holes

Abstract

An interesting feature of quantum corrections to the Bekenstein--Hawking entropy is the appearance of logarithmic area terms, whose coefficients are governed by the spectrum of massless fields. For near-extremal black holes, the entropy also receives a logarithmic temperature correction, whose coefficient is determined by the zero modes of the corresponding extremal black holes. In this paper, we study near-extremal rotating black holes in three, four, and five dimensions with an important focus on rotational zero modes. For three-dimensional BTZ black holes, our results are in agreement with the microscopic description. Furthermore, by treating the cosmological constant scale ℓ as an independent parameter, we find an additional log ℓ correction to the entropy at extremality. For the five-dimensional BMPV black hole, we explicitly construct all the extremal zero modes and use them to evaluate the log temperature corrections to the entropy.
