Abstract

In this talk I present the latest results from our ongoing project on geometrothermodynamics of dilaton black holes. By geometrothermodynamics we mean a study of thermodynamics by means of Ruppeiner geometry which is a type of information geometry. So far results we have obtained for certain black hole families are physically suggestive such as those for the Myers-Perry Kerr black hole. The ongoing work concerns an application of this method to dilaton black holes in various spacetime dimensions e.g. from $2D$ to arbitrary $D$. Furthermore we also investigate the $4D$ dilaton black hole coupled to $U(1)^2$ gauge fields as well as the rotating dilaton black holes in arbitrary dimensions.
