Entropy of extremal black holes in asymptotically anti-de Sitter   spacetime
  Unlike the extremal Reissner - Nordstr\"{o}m black hole in ordinary spacetime, the one in anti-de Sitter spacetime is a minimum of action and has zero entropy if quantization is carried out after extremalization. However, if extremalization is carried out after quantization, then the entropy is a quarter of the area as in the usual case.
