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-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.
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
Robinson-Wilczeks recent work shows that, the energy momentum tensor flux required to cancel gravitational anomaly at the event horizon of a Schwarzschild-type black hole has an equivalent form to that of a (1+1)-dimensional blackbody radiation at th
