We present the results of initiating a benchmarking scheme that allows for cross-comparison of the efficiencies of black holes used as working substances in heat engines. We use a circular cycle in the p-V plane as the benchmark engine. We test it on Einstein-Maxwell, Gauss-Bonnet, and Born-Infeld black holes. Also, we derive a new and surprising exact result for the efficiency of a special `ideal gas system to which all the black holes asymptote.

We extend to non-static black holes our benchmarking scheme that allows for cross-comparison of the efficiencies of asymptotically AdS black holes used as working substances in heat engines. We use a circular cycle in the p-V plane as the benchmark c
ycle. We study Kerr black holes in four spacetime dimensions as an example. As in the static case, we find an exact formula for the benchmark efficiency in an ideal-gas-like limit, which may serve as an upper bound for rotating black hole heat engines in a thermodynamic ensemble with fixed angular velocity. We use the benchmarking scheme to compare Kerr to static black holes charged under Maxwell and Born-Infeld sectors.
The paper at hand studies the heat engine provided by black holes in the presence of massive gravity. The main motivation is to investigate the effects of massive gravity on different properties of the heat engine. It will be shown that massive gravi
ty parameters and gravitons mass modify the efficiency of engine on a significant level. Furthermore, it will be shown that it is possible to have the heat engine for non-spherical black holes in massive gravity and we study the effects of topological factor on properties of the heat engine. Surprisingly, it will be shown that the highest efficiency for the heat engine belongs to black holes with hyperbolic horizon, while the lowest one belongs to spherical black holes.
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. T
his paper reports on new families of peaks, found for the Kerr and Reissner-Nordstrom black holes in a spacetime with positive cosmological constant. It is known that a system with a highest energy, when coupled 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.
Recently, Zhang {em et al.} [PRA, {bf 75}, 062102 (2007)] extended Kieus interesting work on the quantum Otto engine [PRL, {bf 93}, 140403 (2004)] by considering as working substance a bipartite quantum system $AB$ composed of subsystems $A$ and $B$.
In this paper, we express the net work done $W_{AB}$ by such an engine explicitly in terms of the macroscopic bath temperatures and information theoretic quantities associated with the microscopic quantum states of the working substance. This allows us to gain insights into the dependence of positive $W_{AB}$ on the quantum properties of the states. We illustrate with a two-qubit XY chain as the working substance. Inspired by the expression, we propose a plausible formula for the work derivable from the subsystems. We show that there is a critical entanglement beyond which it is impossible to draw positive work locally from the individual subsystems while $W_{AB}$ is positive. This could be another interesting manifestation of quantum nonlocality.
String theory/M-theory generally predicts that axionic fields with a broad mass spectrum extending below 10^{-10}eV are produced after compactification to four dimensions. These axions/fields provoke a rich variety of cosmophysical phenomena on diffe
rent scales depending on their masses and provide us new windows to probe the ultimate theory. In this article, after overviewing this axiverse idea, I take up the black hole instability as the most fascinating one among such axionic phenomena and explain its physical mechanism and astrophysical predictions.
