Thermodynamics Properties of the Inner Horizon of a Kerr-Newman Black Hole

Abstract

In this paper, we study the thermal properties of the inner horizon of a Kerr-Newman black hole. By adopting Damour-Ruffini method and the thin film model which is developed on the base of brick wall model suggested by ’t Hooft, we calculate the temperature and the entropy of the inner horizon of a Kerr-Newman black hole. We conclude that the temperature of inner horizon is positive and the entropy of the inner horizon is proportional to the area of the inner horizon. The cut-off factor is same as it in calculation of the entropy of the outer horizon, 90β. In addition, we write the integral and differential Bekenstein-Smarr formula as the parameters of the inner horizon. Then, we discuss that if the contribution of the inner horizon is taken into account to the total entropy of the black hole, the Nernst theorem can be satisfied. At last, We calculate the tunneling rate of the outer horizon Γ+ and the inner horizon Γ−. The total tunneling rate Γ should be the product of the rates of the outer and inner horizon, Γ=Γ+⋅Γ−. We find that the total tunneling rate is in agreement with the Parikh’s standard result, Γ→exp (ΔSBH), and there is no information loss.
