We consider the thermodynamics of a charged black hole enclosed in a cavity. The charge in the cavity and the temperature at the walls are fixed so that we have a canonical ensemble. We derive the phase structure and stability of black hole equilibrium states. We compare our results to that of other work which uses asymptotically anti-de Sitter boundary conditions to define the thermodynamics. The thermodynamic properties have extensive similarities which suggest that the idea of AdS holography is more dependent on the existence of the boundary than on the exact details of asymptotically AdS metrics.

  1. Black holes at a finite distance: Quasi-local restricted phase space formalism

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Quasi-local restricted phase space for RN black holes adds pressure and area variables, producing isocharge temperature-entropy transitions and neutral Hawking-Page-like transitions absent in the asymptotic description.

  2. Thermodynamic Phase Transitions in Einstein-Maxwell-Scalar-Gauss-Bonnet Gravity

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Scalarization in EMSGB gravity enables free-energy crossings between scalarized and Reissner-Nordström black holes, producing up to three phase transitions whose order changes with coupling strength.
