Description

I will review an old puzzle related to the breakdown of the semiclassical description of the thermodynamics of very cold (ultraspinning) black holes. Then, I will discuss recent work where we resolved this puzzle by properly accounting for quantum corrections arising from graviton loops, which dominate the low-temperature thermodynamics.
