Anomalies and de Sitter radiation from the generic black holes in de Sitter spaces
Abstract Robinson–Wilczek's 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 the Hawking temperature. Motivated by their work, Hawking radiation from the cosmological horizons of the general Schwarzschild–de Sitter and Kerr–de Sitter black holes, has been studied by the method of anomaly cancellation. The result shows that the absorbing gauge current and energy momentum tensor fluxes required to cancel gauge and gravitational anomalies at the cosmological horizon are precisely equal to those of Hawking radiation from it. It should be emphasized that the effective field theory for generic black holes in de Sitter spaces should be formulated within the region between the event horizon (EH) and the cosmological horizon (CH), to integrate out the classically irrelevant ingoing modes at the EH and the classically irrelevant outgoing modes at the CH, respectively.

Covariant anomalies and Hawking radiation from charged rotating black strings in anti-de Sitter spacetimes
Abstract Motivated by the success of the recently proposed method of anomaly cancellation to derive Hawking fluxes from black hole horizons of spacetimes in various dimensions, we have further extended the covariant anomaly cancellation method shortly simplified by Banerjee and Kulkarni to explore the Hawking radiation of the ( 3 + 1 )-dimensional charged rotating black strings and their higher dimensional extensions in anti-de Sitter spacetimes, whose horizons are not spherical but can be toroidal, cylindrical or planar, according to their global identifications. It should be emphasized that our analysis presented here is very general in the sense that the determinant of the reduced ( 1 + 1 )-dimensional effective metric from these black strings need not be equal to one ( − g ≠ 1 ) . Our results indicate that the gauge and energy–momentum fluxes needed to cancel the ( 1 + 1 )-dimensional covariant gauge and gravitational anomalies are compatible with the Hawking fluxes. Besides, thermodynamics of these black strings are studied in the case of a variable cosmological constant.

Thermodynamics of five-dimensional static three-charge STU black holes with squashed horizons
Abstract We present a new expression for the five-dimensional static Kaluza–Klein black hole solution with squashed S 3 horizons and three different charge parameters. This black hole solution belongs to D = 5 , N = 2 supergravity theory, its spacetime is locally asymptotically flat and has a spatial infinity R × S 1 ↪ S 2 . The form of the solution is extraordinary simple and permits us very conveniently to calculate its conserved charges by using the counterterm method. It is further shown that our thermodynamical quantities perfectly obey both the differential and the integral first laws of black hole thermodynamics if the length of the compact extra-dimension can be viewed as a thermodynamical variable.

General Nonextremal Rotating Charged AdS Black Holes in Five-dimensional $U(1)^3$ Gauged Supergravity: A Simple Construction Method
Abstract With the help of a generalized form of the metric ansatz found for the single-charge case in a previous work [S.Q. Wu, Phys. Rev. D 83 (2011) 121502(R)], I adopt a simple algorithm to construct the most general nonextremal rotating charged black hole solutions in five-dimensional U ( 1 ) 3 gauged supergravity. The general solution that is interesting for testing the AdS5/CFT4 correspondence in M-theory, is characterized by its mass, two unequal rotation parameters, three different U ( 1 ) charges, and a negative cosmological constant. The metric ansatz is very universal and illuminative, it is not only especially suitable for constructing solutions with multiple different electric charges in (un)gauged supergravities, but also for other dilatonic gravity theory.

Hawking Radiation of Photons in a Vaidya–de Sitter Black Hole
Hawking evaporation of photons in a Vaidya–de Sitter black hole is investigated by using the method of generalized tortoise coordinate transformation. Both the location and the temperature of the event horizon depend on the time. It is shown that Hawking radiation of photons exists only for the complex Maxwell scalar φ0 in the advanced Eddington–Finkelstein coordinate system. This asymmetry of Hawking radiation for different components of Maxwell fields probably arises from the asymmetry of spacetime in the advanced Eddington–Finkelstein coordinate system. It is shown that the black body radiant spectrum of photons resembles that of Klein–Gordon particles.

Mimic the optical conductivity in disordered solids via gauge/gravity duality ✩
Abstract We study the optical conductivity in a ( 2 + 1 ) -dimensional non-relativistic field theory holographically dual to a ( 3 + 1 ) -dimensional charged Lifshitz black brane within the Einstein–Maxwell-dilaton theory. Surprisingly, we find that the optical AC conductivity satisfies the nontrivial (non-)power law scaling in the high frequency regime rather than approaching to a constant when the dynamical critical exponent z > 1 , which is qualitatively similar to those in various disordered solids in condensed matter systems. Besides, this (non-)power law scaling behavior shows some universality, which is robust against the temperatures. We argue that the peculiar scaling behavior of AC conductivity may stem from the couplings of the dilaton field with the gauge fields and also the logarithmic behavior near the boundary in the Lifshitz spacetime.

Novel features of the transport coefficients in Lifshitz black branes
We study the transport coefficients, including the conductivities and shear viscosity of the non-relativistic field theory dual to the Lifshitz black brane with multiple U(1) gauge fields by virtue of the gauge/gravity duality. Focusing on the case of double U(1) gauge fields, we systematically investigate the electric, thermal and thermoelectric conductivities for the dual non-relativistic field theory. In the large frequency regime, we find a nontrivial power law behavior in the electric AC conductivity when the dynamical critical exponent z>1 in (2+1)-dimensional field theory. The relations between this novel feature and the `symmetric hopping model' in condensed matter physics are discussed. In addition, we also show that the Kovtun-Starinets-Son bound for the shear viscosity to the entropy density is not violated by the additional U(1) gauge fields and dilaton in the Lifshitz black brane.

Dipole coupling effect of holographic fermion in charged dilatonic gravity
Abstract In this Letter, we study the dipole coupling effect of holographic fermion in a charged dilatonic black hole proposed by Gubser and Rocha (2010) [1] . It is found that the property of Fermi liquid is rigid under perturbation of dipole coupling, and the Fermi momentum is linearly shifted. A gap is dynamically generated as the coupling becomes large enough and the Fermi surface ceases to exist as the bulk dipole coupling further increases.

Phase structure in a dynamical soft-wall holographic QCD model
A bstractWe consider the Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton system with an arbitrary kinetic gauge function and a dilaton potential. A family of analytic solutions is obtained by the potential reconstruction method. We then study its holographic dual QCD model. The kinetic gauge function can be fixed by requesting the linear Regge spectrum of mesons. We calculate the free energy to obtain the phase diagram of the holographic QCD model and interpret our result as the heavy quarks system by comparing the recent lattice QCD simulation. We finally obtain the equations of state in our model.
