Thermodynamics of hairy accelerating black holes in gauged supergravity and beyond

TL;DR

This paper explores the thermodynamics of accelerating AdS black holes with scalar hair in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theories, extending understanding of their boundary conditions, mass, and dual stress-energy tensor, with implications for gauged supergravity.

Contribution

It generalizes the thermodynamics of slowly accelerating black holes to include scalar hair and computes their mass and stress-energy tensor via holographic methods.

Findings

Proper boundary conditions yield consistent thermodynamic laws.

Holographic and conformal masses are equivalent.

Thermodynamics of charged accelerating black holes is established.

Abstract

We study the thermodynamics of accelerating asymptotically AdS black holes with scalar hair in four-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theories, which can be embedded in gauged supergravities for specific dilaton coupling constants. These accelerating black holes are described by charged dilaton C metrics, which have unique features but are almost unexplored before. Thermodynamics of slowly accelerating black holes is generalized to include scalar hair. We find that properly accounting for mixed boundary conditions for the scalar field leads to standard consistent first law and other thermodynamic relations. We compute the dual stress-energy tensor and the mass through holographic renormalization, which is associated with the boundary conditions of the scalar field. We also find that the conformal mass is the same as the holographic mass. Along the same line, we also obtain the thermodynamics of $U(1)^2$-charged accelerating black holes.
