Description

A black hole is interpreted as an ''open system'' in the Prigogine sense. From the point of view of spin transformations, the existence of a phase transition corresponding to an extreme Kerr hole is recognized. The role played by the spin entropy into superradiance of a rotating black hole is investigated. (author)
