This paper investigates the connection between the higher-derivative corrections to the black hole entropy and the black hole extremality bound. It is found that at zero temperature or the extremal mass, the entropy shift is unrelated to the mass shift, is proportional to the EFT coefficients, and can be negative in certain EFT examples.
There is a well-established connection between the higher-derivative corrections to the black hole entropy and the black hole extremality bound. The particular combination of effective field theory (EFT) coefficients c(i) that controls the mass shift at fixed charge and temperature also controls the entropy shift at fixed charge and mass, in the limit where the mass approaches the uncorrected value for the extremal mass. In this paper, we use the classical entropy function formalism to examine the entropy corrections at exactly zero temperature, or at the corrected value for the extremal mass. We find that the zero-temperature entropy shift (a) is unrelated to the mass shift, (b) is O(c(i)) in the EFT coefficients, rather than O(root c(i)), as is the constant-mass entropy shift, and (c) is negative in the example of the EFT arising at low energies from QED plus gravity.
