abstract

The physical properties of Reissner-Nordstrom black holes in (n+1)-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime are related, by a holographic map, to the physics of a class of n-dimensional field theories coupled to a background global current. Motivated by that fact, and the recent observations of the striking similarity between the thermodynamic phase structure of these black holes (in the canonical ensemble) and that of the van der Waals-Maxwell liquid-gas system, we explore the physics in more detail. We study fluctuations and stability within the equilibrium thermodynamics, examining the specific heats and electrical permittivity of the holes, and consider the analogue of the Clayperon equation at the phase boundaries. Consequently, we refine the phase diagrams in the canonical and grand canonical ensembles. We study the interesting physics in the neighbourhood of the critical point in the canonical ensemble. There is a second order phase transition found there, and that region is characterized by a Landau-Ginzburg model with A_3 potential. The holographically dual field theories provide the description of the microscopic degrees of freedom which underlie all of the thermodynamics, as can be seen by examining the form of the microscopic fluctuations.

Probing the Chaos to Integrability Transition in Double-Scaled SYK

hep-th · 2026-01-14 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

A first-order phase transition in the Berkooz-Brukner-Jia-Mamroud interpolating model causes chord number, Krylov complexity, and operator size to switch discontinuously from chaotic (linear/exponential) to quasi-integrable (quadratic) growth.

Black hole chemistry: thermodynamics with Lambda

hep-th · 2016-08-22 · accept · novelty 3.0

Treating the cosmological constant as pressure in black hole thermodynamics yields an extended dictionary with enthalpy, thermodynamic volume, and chemical-like phase transitions including Van der Waals behavior, reentrant transitions, and triple points.
