Abstract: The black hole thermodynamics from semiclassical analysis predicts problematic low temperature behavior of the black hole thermal energy. In this talk, I will talk about the quantum corrections to the thermodynamic quantities of accelerating black holes by invoking the Euclidean path integral method. A certain set of zero modes dominates at the one-loop approximation of the partition function at low temperature and produces a leading LogT correction to the entropy of the black hole. The number of different kinds of zero modes depends on the symmetry of the near horizon extremal geometry and affects the coefficient of the LogT correction.
