Abstract

Quantum entropy of extremal black holes has been discussed by many authors. However the contribution of inner event horizon has not been considered. In this paper, we consider the Reissner-Nordström-anti-de Sitter black hole, and show that the contributions lead extremal black hole entropy to obey the Nernst theorem, naturally. Therefore the contributions are important and cannot be neglected in near-extremal and extremal black hole cases.
