Thermodynamic Instabilities of Conformal Gravity Holography in Four Dimensions

Recently, a conjecture has been proposed, which indicates a correlation between super-entropy black holes and the thermodynamic instability \cite{Cong:2019bud}. W.Cong et al. suggested that the $C_{V}$ (specific heat capacity at constant volume) and $C_{P}$ (specific heat capacity at constant pressure) of a super-entropy black hole could not be greater than zero simultaneously as set in the extended phase space, which implies that the black hole is unstable in extended thermodynamics. This conjecture is intriguing and meaningful. Therefore, we did a study on that. After deriving the equations of specific heat capacities as well as plotting the relevant curves of the four-dimensional conformal black holes (a kind of super-entropy black hole), we obtained regions on the graphs where $C_{V}$ and $C_{P}$ are simultaneously greater than zero, which contradicts the conjecture that super-entropy black hole corresponds to its thermodynamic instability. Thus far, we have provided a counterexample to the hypothesis in \cite{Cong:2019bud}.
