abstract

For any K(=2k+1)th-order Lovelock gravity with fine-tuned Lovelock couplings, we demonstrate the existence of a special isolated critical point characterized by non-standard critical exponents in the phase diagram of hyperbolic vacuum black holes. In the Gibbs free energy this corresponds to a place wherefrom two swallowtails emerge, giving rise to two first-order phase transitions between small and large black holes. We believe that this is a first example of a critical point with non-standard critical exponents obtained in a geometric theory of gravity.

On mass inflation and thin shells in quasi-topological gravity

gr-qc · 2026-04-30 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Regular black holes in quasi-topological gravity lack null thin shells in standard distributional theory, invalidating the usual mass inflation derivation and leaving inner horizon stability unresolved.

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.

    An off-shell Hessian criterion H = S'_W(r_h) T'(r_h) governs thermodynamic stability of higher-curvature black holes, recovering the temperature-slope rule on physical branches and producing mean-field critical exponents.
