Dynamic phase transition of charged dilaton black holes

Dynamic phase transition of charged dilaton black holes is investigated in this paper. We introduce the Gibbs free energy landscape and calculate the corresponding $G_L$ for the dilaton black hole. On the one hand, we numerically solve the Fokker-Planck equation constrained by only the reflecting boundary condition. The effects of dilaton gravity on the probabilistic evolution of dilaton black holes are quite obvious. Firstly, the horizon radius difference between the large dilaton black hole and small dilaton black hole increases with the parameter $α$. Secondly, with the increasing of $α$, the system needs much more time to achieve a stationary distribution. Thirdly, the value which $ρ(r_l,t)$ and $ρ(r_s,t)$ finally attain varies with the parameter $α$. On the other hand, resolving Fokker-Planck equation constrained by both the reflecting boundary condition and absorbing boundary condition, we investigate the first passage process of dilaton black holes. The initial peak decays more slowly with the increase of $α$, which can also be witnessed from the slow down of the decay of $Σ(t)$ (the sum of the probability that the black hole system having not finished a first passage by time $t$). Moreover, the time corresponding to the single peak of the first passage time distribution is also found to increase with the parameter $α$. Considering all the observations mentioned above, the dilaton field does slow down the dynamic phase transition process between the large black hole and small black hole.

Effects of dark energy on dynamic phase transition of charged AdS black holes

Searching for the effect of quintessence dark energy on the kinetics of black hole phase transition, we investigate in detail the dynamic phase transition of charged AdS black holes surrounded by quintessence in this paper. Based on the Gibbs free energy landscape, we obtain the analytic expression of the corresponding Gibbs free energy. As shown in $G_L-r_+$ curve at the phase transition temperature, there exist double wells with the same depth, providing further support on the finding in the former literature. By numerically solving the Fokker-Planck equation with both the initial condition and reflecting boundary condition imposed, we probe the probabilistic evolution of charged AdS black holes surrounded by quintessence. The peak denoting the initial black hole state gradually decreases while the other peak starts to grow from zero, approaching to be a stationary distribution in the long time limit with two peaks denoting the large and small black holes respectively. We also study the first passage process of charged AdS black holes surrounded by quintessence and discuss the relevant quantities. We resolve the Fokker-Planck equation by adding the absorbing boundary condition for the intermediate transition state. It is shown intuitively that the peaks located at the large (small) black hole decay very rapidly, irrespective of the initial black hole state. In all the procedures above, we have compared the cases with different choices of the state parameter of quintessence dark energy $ω_q$. The larger $ω_q$ is, the faster the initial black hole state decays, showing the effect of quintessence dark energy. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first probe on the influence of dark energy on the dynamic phase transition of charged AdS black hole.

Attractive Interaction between Vortex and Anti-vortex in Holographic Superfluid

Annihilation process of a pair of vortices in holographic superfluid is numerically simulated. The process is found to consist of two stages which are amazingly separated by vortex size $2r$. The separation distance $δ(t)$ between vortex and anti-vortex as a function of time is well fitted by $α(t_{0}-t)^{n}$, where the scaling exponent $n=1/2$ for $δ(t)>2r$, and $n=2/5$ for $δ(t)<2r$. Then the approaching velocity and acceleration as functions of time and as functions of separation distance are obtained. Thus the attractive force between vortex and anti-vortex is derived as $f(δ)\propto 1/δ^{3}$ for the first stage, and $f(δ)\propto 1/δ^{4}$ for the second stage. In the end, we explained why the annihilation rate of vortices in turbulent superfluid system obeys the two-body decay law when the vortex density is low.

A New Phase Transition Related to the Black Hole's Topological Charge

The topological charge $ε$ of AdS black hole is introduced in Ref.[1,2], where a complete thermodynamic first law is obtained. In this paper, we investigate a new phase transition related to the topological charge in Einstein-Maxwell theory. Firstly, we derive the explicit solutions corresponding to the divergence of specific heat $C_ε$ and determine the phase transition critical point. Secondly, the $T-r$ curve and $T-S$ curve are investigated and they exhibit an interesting van der Waals system's behavior. Critical physical quantities are also obtained which are consistent with those derived from the specific heat analysis. Thirdly, a van der Waals system's swallow tail behavior is observed when $ε>ε_{c}$ in the $F-T$ graph. What's more, the analytic phase transition coexistence lines are obtained by using the Maxwell equal area law and free energy analysis, the results of which are consistent with each other.

A simple analysis of the mixed-state information metric in AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$

We compute the quantum information metrics of a thermal CFT on $\mathbb R^{1,1}$ perturbed by the scalar primary operators of conformal dimension $Δ=3,4,5,6$. In particular, we assume that the Hamiltonian of the mixed state commutes with each other and the temperature is fixed. Under these conditions, the evaluation is analogous to the pure state case. We also apply the method of [arXiv:1607.06519] to calculate the mixed state information metric for the scalar primary operator with conformal dimension $Δ=4$ holographically. We find an exact agreement between the two results in our approach.

Effects of Lovelock gravity on the Joule-Thomson expansion

Effects of Lovelock gravity on the Joule-Thomson expansion are probed from various perspectives. The well-known Joule-Thomson coefficient is derived with both the explicit expression and intuitive image presented. Moreover, the inversion curves showing the relation between the inversion temperature and the inversion pressure are studied. It is shown that for given inversion pressure, the inversion temperature of the case $α\neq0$ ($α$ is the Lovelock parameter) is much lower than that of the case $α=0$. And the inversion temperature tends to decrease with $α$, in contrast to the effect of the electric charge. It is also shown that the ratio between the minimum inversion temperature and the critical temperature decreases with $α$ for $α\neq0$. Furthermore, the isenthalpic curves are investigated with rich physics revealed. The intersection point between the isenthalpic curve and the inversion curve is exactly the inversion point discriminating the heating process from cooling process. It is shown that both the inversion temperature and the inversion pressure for $α\neq0$ are much lower for the same given mass of the black hole, showing the effect of Lovelock gravity. Last but not the least, we discuss the case of uncharged Lovelock AdS black holes with interesting feature found. It is shown that the Joule-Thomson coefficient is always positive, suggesting the expansion is always in the regime of cooling process. And no inversion temperature exists, in contrast to the case $Q\neq0$. Isenthalpic curves are also quite different since the temperature increases monotonically with the pressure when the mass is specified.

Joule-Thomson expansion of $d$-dimensional charged AdS black holes

Effects of the dimensionality on the Joule-Thomson expansion are discussed in detail by considering the case of $d$-dimensional charged AdS black holes. Specifically, we investigate three important aspects characteristic of the Joule-Thomson expansion. Namely, the Joule-Thomson coefficient, the inversion curves and the isenthalpic curves. We utilize two different approaches to derive the explicit expression of the Joule-Thomson coefficient and show that both approaches are consistent with each other. The divergent point and the zero point of the Joule-Thomson coefficient are discussed. The former is shown to reveal the information of Hawking temperature while the latter is depicted through the so-called inversion curves. Fine structures of the inversion curves are disclosed in the cases $d>4$. At low pressure, the inversion temperature increases with the dimensionality $d$ while at high pressure it decreases with $d$. The ratio between minimum inversion temperature $T_{min}$ and the critical temperature $T_c$ is discussed with its explicit expression obtained for $d>4$. Surprisingly, it is shown that the ratio is not always equal to $1/2$ but decreases with the dimensionality $d$. Moreover, isenthalpic curves of $d>4$ are shown to expand toward higher pressure when the dimensionality $d$ increases.

On the first law of entanglement for Quasi-Topological gravity

The first law of entanglement has been used to obtain the linearized Einstein equations of the holographic dual spacetimes. In the present paper, the first law of entanglement in quasi-topological gravity is explicitly derived by using the Iyer-Wald formalism. In addition, we investigate the extended first law of entanglement for the special case in Quasi-Topological gravity.

Phase transition and heat engine efficiency of phantom AdS black holes

Phase transition and heat engine efficiency of phantom AdS black holes are investigated with peculiar properties found. In the non-extended phase space, we probe the possibility of $T-S$ criticality in both the canonical ensemble and grand-canonical ensemble. It is shown that no $T-S$ criticality exists for the phantom AdS black hole in the canonical ensemble, which is different from the RN-AdS black hole. Contrary to the canonical ensemble, no critical point can be found for neither phantom AdS black holes nor RN-AdS black hole in the grand-canonical ensemble. Moreover, we study the specific heat at constant electric potential. When the electric potential satisfies $A_0>1$, only phantom AdS black holes undergo phase transition in the grand-canonical ensemble. In the extended phase space, we show that there is no $P-V$ criticality for phantom AdS black holes, contrary to the case of the RN-AdS black hole. Furthermore, we define a new kind of heat engine via phantom AdS black holes. Comparing to RN-AdS black holes, phantom AdS black holes have a lower heat engine efficiency. However, the ratio $η/η_C$ of phantom AdS black hole is higher, thus increasing the possibility of approaching the Carnot limit. This observation is obviously of interest. The interesting results obtained in this paper may be attributed to the existence of phantom field whose energy density is negative.

Holographic Heat engine within the framework of massive gravity

Heat engine models are constructed within the framework of massive gravity in this paper. For the four-dimensional charged black holes in massive gravity, it is shown that the heat engines have a higher efficiency for the cases $m^2>0$ than for the case $m=0$ when $c_1<0, c_2<0$. Considering a specific example, we show that the maximum efficiency can reach $0.9219$ while the efficiency for $m=0$ reads $0.5014$. The existence of graviton mass improves the heat engine efficiency significantly. The situation is more complicated for the five-dimensional neutral black holes. Not only the $c_1, c_2, m^2$ exert influence on the efficiency, but also the constant $c_3$ corresponding to the third massive potential contributes to the efficiency. When $c_1<0, c_2<0, c_3<0$, the heat engine efficiency of the cases $m^2>0$ is higher than that of the case $m=0$. By studying the ratio $η/η_C$, we also probe how the massive gravity influences the behavior of the heat engine efficiency approaching the Carnot efficiency.

Ratio of critical quantities related to Hawking temperature-entanglement entropy criticality

We revisit the Hawking temperature$-$entanglement entropy criticality of the $d$-dimensional charged AdS black hole with our attention concentrated on the ratio $\frac{T_c δS_c}{Q_c}$. Comparing the results of this paper with those of the ratio $\frac{T_c S_c}{Q_c}$, one can find both the similarities and differences. These two ratios are independent of the characteristic length scale $l$ and dependent on the dimension $d$. These similarities further enhance the relation between the entanglement entropy and the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. However, the ratio $\frac{T_c δS_c}{Q_c}$ also relies on the size of the spherical entangling region. Moreover, these two ratios take different values even under the same choices of parameters. The differences between these two ratios can be attributed to the peculiar property of the entanglement entropy since the research in this paper is far from the regime where the behavior of the entanglement entropy is dominated by the thermal entropy.

Universal ratios of critical physical quantities of charged AdS black holes

We investigate the ratios of critical physical quantities related to the $T-S$ criticality of charged AdS black holes. It is shown that the ratio $\frac{T_cS_c}{Q_c}$ is universal while $\frac{T_cr_c}{Q_c}$ is not. This finding is quite interesting considering the former observation that both the $T-S$ graph and $T-r_+$ graph exhibit reverse van der Waals behavior. It is also worth noting that the value of $\frac{T_cS_c}{Q_c}$ differs from that of $\frac{P_cv_c}{T_c}$ for $P-V$ criticality. Moreover, we discuss universal ratios for the $P-V$ criticality and $Q-Φ$ criticality. We successfully interpret the former finding that the ratio $\frac{Φ_cQ_c}{T_c}$ is not universal and construct two universal ratios for the $Q-Φ$ criticality instead. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to introduce the dimensional analysis technique to study the ratios of critical physical quantities. It is expected that this technique can be generalized to probe the universal ratios for $Y-X$ criticality in future research.

Revisiting van der Waals like behavior of f(R) AdS black holes via the two point correlation function

Van der Waals like behavior of $f(R)$ AdS black holes is revisited via two point correlation function, which is dual to the geodesic length in the bulk. The equation of motion constrained by the boundary condition is solved numerically and both the effect of boundary region size and $f(R)$ gravity are probed. Moreover, an analogous specific heat related to $δL$ is introduced. It is shown that the $T-δL$ graphs of $f(R)$ AdS black holes exhibit reverse van der Waals like behavior just as the $T-S$ graphs do. Free energy analysis is carried out to determine the first order phase transition temperature $T_*$ and the unstable branch in $T-δL$ curve is removed by a bar $T=T_*$. It is shown that the first order phase transition temperature is the same at least to the order of $10^{-10}$ for different choices of the parameter $b$ although the values of free energy vary with $b$. Our result further supports the former finding that charged $f(R)$ AdS black holes behave much like RN-AdS black holes. We also check the analogous equal area law numerically and find that the relative errors for both the cases $θ_0=0.1$ and $θ_0=0.2$ are small enough. The fitting functions between $ \log\mid T -T_c\mid$ and $\log\midδL-δL_c\mid $ for both cases are also obtained. It is shown that the slope is around 3, implying that the critical exponent is about $2/3$. This result is in accordance with those in former literatures of specific heat related to the thermal entropy or entanglement entropy.

Heat engine in the three-dimensional spacetime

We define a kind of heat engine via three-dimensional charged BTZ black holes. This case is quite subtle and needs to be more careful. The heat flow along the isochores does not equal to zero since the specific heat $C_V\neq0$ and this point completely differs from the cases discussed before whose isochores and adiabats are identical. So one cannot simply apply the paradigm in the former literatures. However, if one introduces a new thermodynamic parameter associated with the renormalization length scale, the above problem can be solved. We obtain the analytical efficiency expression of the three-dimensional charged BTZ black hole heat engine for two different schemes. Moreover, we double check with the exact formula. Our result presents the first specific example for the sound correctness of the exact efficiency formula. We argue that the three-dimensional charged BTZ black hole can be viewed as a toy model for further investigation of holographic heat engine. Furthermore, we compare our result with that of the Carnot cycle and extend the former result to three-dimensional spacetime. In this sense, the result in this paper would be complementary to those obtained in four-dimensional spacetime or ever higher. Last but not the least, the heat engine efficiency discussed in this paper may serve as a criterion to discriminate the two thermodynamic approaches introduced in Ref.[29] and our result seems to support the approach which introduces a new thermodynamic parameter $R=r_0$.

New perspective for black hole thermodynamics in Gauss-Bonnet-Born-Infeld massive gravity

Following earlier study regarding Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet-massive black holes in the presence of Born-Infeld nonlinear electromagnetic field [S. H. Hendi, B. Eslam Panah and S. Panahiyan, arXiv:1510.00108], we study thermodynamical structure and critical behavior of these black holes through various methods in this paper. Geometrical thermodynamics is employed to give a picture regarding phase transition of these black holes. Next, a new method is used to derive critical pressure and horizon radius of these black holes. In addition, Maxwell equal area law is employed to study the Van der Waals like behavior of these black holes. Moreover, the critical exponents are calculated and by using Ehrenfest equations, the type of the phase transitions are determined.

Combined effects of f(R) gravity and conformally invariant Maxwell field on the extended phase space thermodynamics of higher-dimensional black holes

In this paper, we investigate the thermodynamics of higher-dimensional $f(R)$ black holes in the extended phase space. Both the analytic expressions and numerical results for the possible critical physical quantities are obtained. It is proved that meaningful critical specific volume only exists when $p$ is odd. This unique phenomenon may be attributed to the combined effect of $f(R)$ gravity and conformally invariant Maxwell field. It is also shown that the ratio $P_cv_c/T_c$ differs from that of higher dimensional charged AdS black holes in Einstein gravity. However, the ratio for four-dimensional $f(R)$ black holes is the same as that of four-dimensional RN-AdS black holes, implying that $f(R)$ gravity does not influence the ratio. So the ratio may be related to conformally invariant Maxwell field. To probe the phase transition, we derive the explicit expression of the Gibbs free energy with its graph plotted. Phase transition analogous to the van der Waals liquid-gas system take place between the small black hole and the large black hole. Classical swallow tail behavior, characteristic of first order phase transition, can also be observed in the Gibbs free energy graph. Critical exponents are also calculated. It is shown that these exponents are exactly the same as those of other AdS black holes, implying that neither $f(R)$ gravity nor conformally invariant Maxwell field influence the critical exponents. Since the investigated black hole solution depends on the form of the function $f(R)$, we discuss in detail how our results put constraint on the form of the function $f(R)$ and we also present a simple example.

An alternative perspective to observe the critical phenomena of dilaton AdS black holes

The critical phenomena of dilaton AdS black holes are probed from a totally different perspective other than the $P-v$ criticality and the $q-U$ criticality discussed in the former literature. We investigate not only the two point correlation function but also the entanglement entropy of dilaton AdS black holes. We achieve this goal by solving the equation of motion constrained by the boundary condition numerically and we concentrate on $δL$ and $δS$ which have been regularized by subtracting the terms in pure AdS with the same boundary region. For both the two point correlation function and the entanglement entropy, we consider $4\times2\times2=16$ cases due to different choices of parameters. The van der Waals like behavior can be clearly witnessed from all the $T-δL$ ($T-δS$) graphs for $q<q_c$. Moreover, the effects of dilaton gravity and the spacetime dimensionality on the phase structure of dilaton AdS black holes are disclosed. Furthermore, we discuss the stability of dilaton AdS black holes by applying the analogous specific heat definition and remove the unstable branch by introducing a bar $T=T_*$. It is shown that the first order phase transition temperature $T_*$ is affected by both $α$ and $n$. The analogous equal area laws for both the $T-δL$ graph and the $T-δS$ graph are examined numerically. The relative errors for all the cases are small enough that we can safely conclude that the analogous equal area laws hold for $T-δL$ ($T-δS$) graph of dilaton AdS black holes.

Phase transition and thermodynamic geometry of $f(R)$ AdS black holes in the grand canonical ensemble

The phase transition of four-dimensional charged AdS black hole solution in the $R+f(R)$ gravity with constant curvature is investigated in the grand canonical ensemble, where we find novel characteristics quite different from that in canonical ensemble. There exists no critical point for $T-S$ curve while in former research critical point was found for both the $T-S$ curve and $T-r_+$ curve when the electric charge of $f(R)$ black holes is kept fixed. Moreover, we derive the explicit expression for the specific heat, the analog of volume expansion coefficient and isothermal compressibility coefficient when the electric potential of $f(R)$ AdS black hole is fixed. The specific heat $C_Φ$ encounters a divergence when $0<Φ b$. This finding also differs from the result in the canonical ensemble, where there may be two, one or no divergence points for the specific heat $C_Q$. To examine the phase structure newly found in the grand canonical ensemble, we appeal to the well-known thermodynamic geometry tools and derive the analytic expressions for both the Weinhold scalar curvature and Ruppeiner scalar curvature. It is shown that they diverge exactly where the specific heat $C_Φ$ diverges.
