Abstract

We study black holes in the Hořava–Lifshitz gravity with a parameter λ. For 1/3≤λ<3, the black holes behave the Lifshitz black holes with dynamical exponent 0<z≤4, while for λ>3, the black holes behave the Reissner–Nordström type black hole in asymptotically flat spacetimes. Hence, these all are quite different from the Schwarzschild–AdS black hole of Einstein gravity. The temperature, mass, entropy, and heat capacity are derived for investigating thermodynamic properties of these black holes.
