abstract

We study the hololgraphic dual of the extended thermodynamics of spherically symmetric, charged AdS black holes in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence. The gravitational thermodynamics of AdS black holes can be extended by allowing for variations of the cosmological constant and Newton's constant. In the dual CFT this corresponds to including the central charge $C$ and its chemical potential $\mu$ as a new pair of conjugate thermodynamic variables, in addition to the standard pairs: temperature vs. entropy $(T,S)$, electric potential vs. charge $(\tilde \Phi, \tilde Q)$ and field theory pressure vs. volume $(p,{\cal V})$. For the (grand) canonical ensembles at fixed $(\tilde Q, {\cal V}, C), (\tilde \Phi, {\cal V},C)$ and $(\tilde Q, {\cal V}, \mu)$ we show the CFT description of charged AdS black holes contains either critical phenomena or interesting phase behaviour. In the fixed $(\tilde Q, \mathcal V, \mu)$ we find a new zeroth-order phase transition between a high- and low-entropy phase at some $\mu$-dependent temperature. Finally, we point out there is no critical behaviour in the fixed $p$ ensembles, i.e. there is no $p - \cal V$ criticality, and hence the CFT state dual to a classical charged black hole cannot be a Van der Waals fluid.

  1. Finite-cutoff Holographic Thermodynamics

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Finite-cutoff holography yields a thermodynamic duality between T^2-deformed CFTs and Schwarzschild-AdS black holes with a Dirichlet wall, including a teardrop coexistence curve with up to three states at one temperature.

  2. Critical phenomenon of quantum BTZ black holes

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Quantum BTZ black holes have a critical point at backreaction strength ν=1 with non-mean-field exponents (α=0, β=1, γ=2, δ=3) that violate the 2-α=β(1+δ) scaling law.

  3. Extended thermodynamical topology of black hole

    hep-th 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    The paper introduces a unified extended thermodynamical topology framework for black holes and claims a correspondence between zeros of higher-order vector fields and critical exponents.

  4. Analytical approach to criticality of AdS black holes

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A self-reciprocal relation between coexisting black hole phases reduces two coexistence conditions to a single algebraic equation, giving exact coexistence lines for several AdS black holes and the Van der Waals fluid.

  5. Thermodynamic Curvature and Topological Insights of Hayward Black Holes with String Fluids

    gr-qc 2025-06 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    For Hayward-AdS black holes with string fluids, the normalized thermodynamic curvature is mostly negative but becomes repulsive for high charge at small volume, and the total topological charge is W=0 for epsilon=-1 a...
