    Stephen Hawking (1942-2018) and Don N. Page (b.1948).

    ‘Thermodynamics of Black Holes in Anti-de Sitter Space.’ Offprint from: Communications in Mathematical Physics, 87, pp.577-588. [Berlin:] Springer-Verlag, 1983. Provenance: the estate of the late Professor Stephen Hawking.

    Highly technical offprint examining the thermodynamics of black holes with a negative spacetime curvature. Essentially the authors posit a negative cosmological constant (which does not match cosmological observations) and show that such black holes have a minimum temperature and can be in a stable equilibrium with thermal radiation.

    Octavo (243 x 166mm). Stapled self-wrappers, tape spine (punch holes).
