abstract

We re-examine the black hole solutions in classical theories of dilaton gravity in two dimensions. We consider an arbitrary dilaton potential such that there are black hole solutions asymptotic at infinity to the nearly $\mathrm{AdS}_2$ solutions of JT gravity, and such that the black hole energy and entropy are bounded below. We show that if there is a black hole solution with negative specific heat at some temperature $T$, then at the same temperature there is a black hole solution with lower free energy and positive specific heat. As the temperature is increased from 0 to infinity, the black hole energy and entropy increase monotonically but not necessarily continuously; there can be first order phase transitions, similar to the Hawking-Page transition. These theories can also have solutions corresponding to closed universes.
