Extremal black holes in the Hořava-Lifshitz gravity

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

We study the near-horizon geometry of extremal black holes in the z=3z=3 Hořava-Lifshitz gravity with a flow parameter λλ. For λ>1/2λ>1/2, near-horizon geometry of extremal black holes are AdS2×S2_2 \times S^2 with different radii, depending on the (modified) Hořava-Lifshitz gravity. For 1/3≤λ≤1/21/3\le λ\le 1/2, the radius v2v_2 of S2S^2 is negative, which means that the near-horizon geometry is ill-defined and the corresponding Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is zero. We show explicitly that the entropy function approach does not work for obtaining the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of extremal black holes.
