abstract
It is shown that in theories of gravity where the cosmological constant is considered a thermodynamic variable, it is natural to use black holes as heat engines. Two examples are presented in detail using AdS charged black holes as the working substance. We notice that for static black holes, the maximally efficient traditional Carnot engine is also a Stirling engine. The case of negative cosmological constant supplies a natural realization of these engines in terms of the field theory description of the fluids to which they are holographically dual. We first propose a precise picture of how the traditional thermodynamic dictionary of holography is extended when the cosmological constant is dynamical and then conjecture that the engine cycles can be performed by using renormalization group flow. We speculate about the existence of a natural dual field theory counterpart to the gravitational thermodynamic volume.

Finite Carrollian black-hole thermodynamics arises as a double-scaled low-temperature large-N ensemble in AdS/CFT, with the boundary Brown-York stress tensor reproducing the contracted bulk Hamiltonian and first law.
Stirling efficiency reaches Carnot when fixed-volume heat capacity is volume-independent, true for classical gases but not quantum or CFTs; holographic CFTs approach Carnot at large potentials with faster convergence under regeneration.
Introduces a holographic pressure and volume for static spherically symmetric black holes via quasi-local thermodynamics, showing large black holes become extensive in the large-system limit while small ones do not.
Charge most strongly controls JT inversion and cooling domains of the f(R,T)-NLED AdS black hole; NLED and modified-gravity parameters supply only sub-leading corrections that leave exterior geodesics close to RN-AdS.
The paper computes phase diagrams and first-passage time distributions for phase transitions in three ensembles of holographic CFTs using off-shell free energy and Fokker-Planck kinetics.
Analyzes bulk and boundary phase transitions in deformed AdS-Schwarzschild black holes using gravitational decoupling and holographic extended thermodynamics.
In holographic superconductors with Born-Infeld electrodynamics, excited states become gapless below a critical pressure while the ground state remains gapped, arising from nonlinear screening competing with spatial curvature.
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.
