Charged rotating black strings in Einsteinian cubic gravity

Abstract

We construct, for the first time, charged rotating black string solutions in four-dimensional Einsteinian cubic gravity, which are asymptotically anti de Sitter. By assuming that the solutions are completely regular at the horizon and studying their near-horizon behavior, we find some thermodynamic properties, which can be accessed analytically. We compute independently the Hawking temperature, the Wald entropy, the mass, the angular momentum, the charge, and the electrostatic potential of the solutions, analytically. Using these, we show that the first law of thermodynamics for rotating black strings is exactly satisfied in both charged and uncharged cases. We also observe that, in the absence of Maxwell field, some of the solutions have positive specific heat, which makes them thermodynamically stable.
