I Introduction
The Jacobson’s pioneering work J1 reveals the deep connections between gravity, spacetime and thermodynamics. It says that the system information (or equally the system entropy), combined with the thermodynamic laws, can address the gravitational field equations. The Bekenstein entropy bound is one of its argument pillars which also plays a crucial role in investigating the black hole thermodynamics J1 ; Stability1 ; Stability2 . This entropy is non-extensive, a property expected by considering the long-range nature of the gravity Ts1 ; fon ; non0 ; abe ; nn1 ; nn2 ; SME1 ; 5 . Indeed, the non-extensivity is also brought up in studying the thermodynamic properties of systems whenever the effects of the size of reservoir is considered motivcannon1 ; motivcannon2 .
The above argument motivates physicists to study the cosmological and gravitational phenomena in the generalized statistical formalisms, such as non-extensive Rényi and Tsallis entropies, in which the ordinary probability distribution is replaced with a power-law distribution leading to generalized entropies non4 ; non5 ; non6 ; non13 ; non7 ; EPJC ; prd ; non8 ; filipemena ; SME2 ; Tavayef ; non21 ; epjcr ; epl ; Biro1 ; thermo1 ; thermo2 ; motivcannon3 ; EPJC1 ; T1 ; SME3 ; SME4 ; SME5 ; SME6 ; pdu . It has been indicated that using the power-law distributions of probability is compatible with experimentally observed power-law tailed particle spectra T2 ; T3 ; T4 ; T5 . Recently, using the Rényi entropy, as a single parameter generalized entropy non0 ; SME1 , the thermodynamic properties of some black holes has been studied Biro1 ; thermo1 ; thermo2 ; motivcannon3 ; EPJC1 . It has been shown that the Schwarzschild black holes based on the Rényi formalism, in contrast to Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical mechanics, can be in stable equilibrium in the canonical ensemble EPJC1 ; motivcannon3 . In spite of the successes of the non-extensive statistical mechanics, the non-extensive Tsallis entropy can not satisfy the zeroth law of thermodynamics without neglecting energy corrections T6 .
On the other hand, its generalization, called the Sharma-Mittal entropy (SM) SME1 , which is a combination of the Rényi and Tsallis entropies, leads to interesting results in the cosmological setup. Such a kind of generalization helps us to describe the current accelerated universe by using the vacuum energy in a suitable manner SME2 ; SME3 ; SME4 ; SME5 ; SME6 . Although, non-extensive entropies have been used to investigate the thermodynamic properties of black holes, but none of them consider the Sharma-Mittal entropy for it. All of these motivate us to study the thermodynamic properties of black holes, as strongly coupled gravitational systems, by employing the SM entropy written as SME1 ; SME2
[TABLE]
Here, , where and denotes the horizon radius, is the Tsallis entropy 5 ; SME2 . Moreover, and are free unknown parameters to be determined by fitting the results with observations SME1 ; SME2 . One can see that for and , the Rényi and Tsallis entropies are recovered, respectively.
It is worth mentioning that, there are two approaches to demonstrate the thermodynamic properties of black holes in the non-extensive statistical mechanics. In the first approach, similar to the standard picture of black hole thermodynamics, the temperature of a black hole is considered as the Hawking temperature and so the energy of the system should be generalized. In another approach, the standard energy of the system is assumed and a corresponding generalized temperature associated with the generalized entropy can be obtained. In the present work, we use the second approach and find the generalized temperature associated with the Sharma-Mittal entropy to describe the thermodynamic properties of the Schwarzschild black hole.
In this paper, we are mainly interested to study some thermodynamic properties of the Schwarzschild (Sch) black holes meeting the SM entropy bound instead of the Bekenstein entropy bound. After addressing some general remarks of the SM entropy of black holes in the next section, we study the temperature and decay time of the Sch and Schwarzschild-de Sitter (SdS) black holes in the third section. A semi-classical approach is used, in the forth section, to find an approximate relation between and parameters of Sch black holes. Employing the Poincaré turning point method Poincare ; Stability1 ; Stability2 ; motivcannon3 , the stability of Sch black holes is also studied in both the micro-canonical and canonical ensembles in Sec. (V) where the heat capacity has also been investigated. The last section is also devoted to a summary. Throughout the paper, we also compare our results with those obtained by using the Bekenstein entropy.
II SM entropy for black hole horizon
Consider a spherically symmetric static metric
[TABLE]
where and are the time and radius coordinates, respectively, and ** is the standard line element on a unit two-sphere**. The Unruh temperature corresponding to the above metric horizon with radius obtained by solving equation, is given as Unruh
[TABLE]
For a black hole with mass (the mass confined by radius ), one can use the Clausius formula to reach the entropy content () of the black hole (with radius ) as J1
[TABLE]
where we used the fact that is a Jacobian for the Dirac-delta constraint Biro1 to write the last equality. In fact, the last equality addresses us a micro-canonical shell in a phase space whose variables are and Biro1 . For the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of the Sch black hole (), where , we have
[TABLE]
in which is the solution of . Therefore, simple calculations lead to Biro1
[TABLE]
where prime denotes derivative with respect to . Moreover, and are Hawking temperature and heat capacity of the black hole at constant volume, respectively Biro1 .
III Temperature and decay time for Sch and SdS black
holes
For the Sch black hole, for which , one can use Eqs. (II) along with Sharma-Mittal entropy (1) to obtain
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Now, using Eq. (III) one gets
[TABLE]
as the Hawking temperature. In the limiting case , the standard Hawking temperature is recovered. This limiting case also corresponds to Bekenstein-Hawking entropy which plays the role of the Tsallis entropy EPJC ; prd ; non8 ; SME2 ; epjcr ; Biro1 ; motivcannon3 ; T6 ; EPJC1 . This result implies that the observed deviation from the Hawking temperature for the Schwarzschild black hole can be attributed to (or caused by) the non-extensive Sharma-Mittal entropy. For a SdS black hole, where , in which denotes the cosmological constant, the equation yields
[TABLE]
for the mass content of the horizon with radius . Using the definition together with Eqs. (8) and (9), the Hawking temperature is evaluated as
[TABLE]
where prime denotes derivative with respect to radius. In the limit of , the standard temperature of Bekenstein-Hawking entropy for the SdS black hole Biro1 is regained. In Fig. 1, the temperature of Sch and SdS black holes have been plotted by using the above relations. The results of using the Bekenstein entropy have also been plotted for a better comparison.
Considering the Hawking radiation of a black hole as a black body radiation and bearing the Stefan-Boltzmann law in mind, one has
[TABLE]
where is the Stefan-Boltzman constant, for the mass loss rate of a Schwarzschild black hole. It finally leads to
[TABLE]
combined with Eq. (8) to obtain the decay time of the Sch black hole meeting the Sharma-Mittal entropy
[TABLE]
Hypergeometric functions are the solutions of the above integral. For the SdS black holes, calculations lead to
[TABLE]
for the time decay, which yields again hypergeometric functions. Fig. 2 includes the of the Sch and SdS black holes for both the Bekenstein and Sharma-Mital entropies.
IV A semi-classical investigation for entropy parameters of Sch black holes
Consider a Sch black hole whose temperature is the minimum value of Eq. (8) leading to for its radius. From classical point of view, its energy is . On the other hand, since this state has the minimum temperature, one may also approximate it with quantum mechanical considerations Biro1 . As a toy model, we look at this state as the ground state of a harmonic oscillator with energy (in the unit of ). Here, denotes the wavelength of the system, and (the black hole diameter) is a suitable approach for Biro1 yielding . Employing assumption, and bearing the relation in mind, we reach
[TABLE]
as an approximate relation between and in the mentioned situation.
V Stability of Sch black hole
Here, we are going to study the stability of Sch black holes, meeting the Sharma-Mittal entropy bound, in both the micro-canonical Poincare ; Stability1 ; Stability2 ; motivcannon3 and canonical motivcannon1 ; motivcannon2 ; motivcannon3 approaches. It has been shown that in the Boltzmann-Gibbs picture the Sch black holes cannot be in stable equilibrium which implies that the canonical ensemble can not be used when the gravitational interaction is included in the standard statistical mechanics Hawking1 ; Hawking2 . In the micro-canonical framework, it has been assumed that the Sch black hole is isolated, and thus, and are the corresponding conjugate thermodynamic variables which have the mutual relation Poincare ; Stability1 ; Stability2 ; motivcannon3
[TABLE]
where denotes the system entropy. Hence, and
[TABLE]
which recovers the result of employing the Bekenstein entropy () at the appropriate limit motivcannon3 . As long as the slope of the curve (versus ) is not vertical, the configuration under study does not admit any turning point meaning that the system remains stable Poincare ; Stability1 ; Stability2 ; motivcannon3 . In Fig. 3, versus has been plotted for both the Bekenstein and Sharma-Mittal entropies indicating that the isolated Sch black hole, similarly to the standard Boltzmann-Gibbs picture, is always stable against spherically symmetric perturbations in both cases (no turning point is observed).
The Helmholtz free energy formalism () is the backbone of the canonical survey of a black hole in contact with a thermal bath, which is defined as motivcannon1 ; motivcannon2 ; motivcannon3
[TABLE]
where and are the conjugate thermodynamic variables motivcannon1 ; motivcannon2 ; motivcannon3 . As it is apparent from Fig. 4, the tangent of the curve is vertical when , or equally, the temperature of the Sch black hole is the minimum value of Eq. (8) (). **This means that, Schwarzschild black hole in the Sharma-Mittal formalism, in contrast to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy, can be stable for . We therefore conclude that black holes with have positive specific heat capacity and are stable while those with are unstable. These results are comparable with those obtained in motivcannon3 for the Schwarzschild black holes described by the Rényi formalism.
**
The sign of the heat capacity can also help us in determining the stability of the black holes (the Hessian analysis) motivcannon3 . From Fig. 5, one can see that, unlike the Bekenstein formalism, the sign of the heat capacity is changed at point whenever the Sharma-Mittal entropy is attributed to the Sch black hole. Indeed, for , the heat capacity is positive and meaningful, while for , the heat capacity is negative meaning that such Sch black holes violate the laws of thermodynamics, a result obtainable in the Bekenstein formalism for which the heat capacity of Sch black hole is always negative.
VI CONCLUSION
Our main focus, in this work, was to study some properties of a Sch black hole meeting the Sharma-Mittal entropy and compare them with those obtained by employing the Bekenstein entropy. Firstly, we addressed a time that the Sch and SdS black holes need to be completely evaporated through the Hawking radiation mechanism. Considering a Sch black hole with minimum temperature () together with using a semi-classical analysis, we could obtain a bound on the entropy parameters and . It has also been found out that, in the Sharma-Mittal formalism, a Sch black hole has positive heat capacity and is stable in the canonical ensemble framework, if its mass is bigger than which is the mass of a Sch black hole with temperature . This result is contrary to the standard Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical mechanics. The stability analysis also shows that similar to the Bekenstein case, a Sch black hole meeting the Sharma-Mittal entropy bound is always stable in the framework of micro-canonical ensemble.
