Compressibility of rotating black holes
read the original abstract
Interpreting the cosmological constant as a pressure, whose thermodynamically conjugate variable is a volume, modifies the first law of black hole thermodynamics. Properties of the resulting thermodynamic volume are investigated: the compressibility and the speed of sound of the black hole are derived in the case of non-positive cosmological constant. The adiabatic compressibility vanishes for a non-rotating black hole and is maximal in the extremal case --- comparable with, but still less than, that of a cold neutron star. A speed of sound $v_s$ is associated with the adiabatic compressibility, which is is equal to $c$ for a non-rotating black hole and decreases as the angular momentum is increased. An extremal black hole has $v_s^2=0.9 \,c^2$ when the cosmological constant vanishes, and more generally $v_s$ is bounded below by $c/ {\sqrt 2}$.

Critical slowing down of black hole phase transition and universal dynamic scaling in AdS black holes
Black hole phase transitions in AdS spacetime show critical slowing down with relaxation time scaling as τ = |ε|^{-2/3}, and this exponent is the same for RN-AdS, Kerr-AdS, and Bardeen black holes.
