We study the low temperature expansion of the first law of thermodynamics for near-extremal black holes. We show that for extremal black holes with non-vanishing entropy, the leading order contribution yields an expression for their extremal entropy in agreement with the entropy function result and the Cardy formula for the entropy of a two dimensional chiral conformal field theory (CFT). When their entropy vanishes due to the vanishing of a one-cycle on the horizon, such leading contribution is always compatible with the first law satisfied by a BTZ black hole. These results are universal and consistent both with the presence of local AdS2 and AdS3 near horizon throats for extremal black holes and with the suggested quantum microscopic descriptions (AdS2/CFT1, Kerr/CFT and EVH/CFT).

  1. Charged and rotating near-horizon geometries in five dimensions

    hep-th 2026-06 conditional novelty 7.0

    New analytic charged rotating near-horizon geometries in 5D Einstein-Maxwell are constructed and shown to be the most general extremal rotating horizons with constant co-rotating electric field under Sasakian structure.
