Comments on Chemical Potentials in AdS/CFT
read the original abstract
We propose a method for identifying holographic chemical potentials of conserved charges. The guiding principle is the consistency of the identification with the thermodynamic relations and the Legendre transformation. We consider the baryon-charge chemical potential as an example, and explain why the degree of freedom of the constant shift of the bulk U(1) gauge field is absent when the Legendre transformation is well-defined. The method proposed here suggests that the definition of the chemical potential may be more complicated compared with the case of localized charge if we have a nontrivial charge distribution along the radial direction of the bulk geometry.

Lifshitz-like Magnetic Black Branes: Third Law of Thermodynamics and the Null Energy Condition
In three Lifshitz-like black brane models, the null energy condition and third law of thermodynamics show no correlation in two cases but the former implies the latter in the third.
