Hyperbolic & Dispersive PDE Seminar

Retiring the third law of black hole thermodynamics

Ryan Unger (Princeton University & University of Cambridge)

Location:  Hill 705
Date & time: Thursday, 16 February 2023 at 2:00PM - 3:00PM

In this talk I will present a rigorous construction of examples of black hole formation which are exactly isometric to extremal Reissner–Nordström after finite time. In particular, our result can be viewed as a definitive disproof of the “third law of black hole thermodynamics.” This is joint work with Christoph Kehle.
