Reentrant phase transition in holographic thermodynamics of Born-Infeld AdS black hole

In this paper, we study the phase tranisions in the extended holographic thermodynamics of Born-Infeld AdS black holes. The extended gravitational thermodynamics of black holes is related to the thermodynamics of the dual field theory by varying both cosmological constant and Newton's constant. With topological analysis and numerical calculation, we find that the reentrant large-small-large black hole phase transition still exists in $D=4$. Interestingly, a similar reentrant phase transition is also observed in the dual field theory, between the high-, low- and high-entropy thermal states. For higher dimension $D>4$, only the van der Waals like phase transition is observed, both in the bulk and the dual field theory.

Attractive interactions in the microstructures of asymptotically flat black holes

In this work, we investigate the microstructure of asymptotically flat black holes with Ruppeiner curvature. Specially, the cosmological constant is considered to have a fluctuation around 0. Under such consideration, both repulsive and attractive interactions are found in the Reissner-Nordström and Kerr black holes, while the Schwarzschild black hole has dominant attractive interaction. The result obtained is quite different from that of excluding the fluctuation of cosmological constant, where these black holes are found to be always characterised by repulsive interaction.

Topology of Hořava-Lifshitz black holes in different ensembles

In this paper, we study topological numbers for uncharged and charged static black holes obtained in Hořava-Lifshitz gravity theory in different ensembles. We first calculate the topological numbers for the uncharged black holes by changing the value of the dynamic coupling constant, and find that the black holes with spherical and flat horizons have the same topological number. When the black hole's horizon is hyperbolic, different values of the coupling constant generate different topological numbers, which can be $1$, $0$ or $-1$. This shows that the coupling constant plays an important role in the topological classification. Then, we study the topological numbers for the charged black holes in different ensembles. The black hole with a spherical horizon has the same topological number in canonical and grand canonical ensembles. When the horizons are flat or hyperbolic, they have different topological numbers in canonical and grand canonical ensembles. Therefore, the topological numbers for the uncharged black holes are parameter dependent, and those for the charged black holes are ensemble dependent.

Proportionate Recursive Maximum Correntropy Criterion Adaptive Filtering Algorithms and their Performance Analysis

The maximum correntropy criterion (MCC) has been employed to design outlier-robust adaptive filtering algorithms, among which the recursive MCC (RMCC) algorithm is a typical one. Motivated by the success of our recently proposed proportionate recursive least squares (PRLS) algorithm for sparse system identification, we propose to introduce the proportionate updating (PU) mechanism into the RMCC, leading to two sparsity-aware RMCC algorithms: the proportionate recursive MCC (PRMCC) algorithm and the combinational PRMCC (CPRMCC) algorithm. The CPRMCC is implemented as an adaptive convex combination of two PRMCC filters. For PRMCC, its stability condition and mean-square performance were analyzed. Based on the analysis, optimal parameter selection in nonstationary environments was obtained. Performance study of CPRMCC was also provided and showed that the CPRMCC performs at least as well as the better component PRMCC filter in steady state. Numerical simulations of sparse system identification corroborate the advantage of proposed algorithms as well as the validity of theoretical analysis.

Superfluid $λ$ Transition in Charged AdS Black Holes

We observe a superfluid $λ$ transition in the $P-V$ criticality of charged AdS black holes, within a holographic extended thermodynamics that considers the variation of Newton's constant $G$. We calculate the critical exponents and find that they coincide with those of a superfluid transition in liquid $^4\text{He}$ and the Bose-Einstein condensation of hard-sphere Bose gas. Moreover, the independence of entropy and thermodynamic volume in the holographic framework allows us to construct a well-defined Ruppeiner metric. The associated scalar curvature suggests that the black holes show similar microscopic interactions with the hard-sphere Bose gas, where the superfluid (condensed) phase is dominated by repulsive interactions, while the normal (gas) phase is dominated by attractive interactions. These findings might provide us with new insights into the quantum aspect of charged AdS black holes.

Self-supervised On-device Federated Learning from Unlabeled Streams

The ubiquity of edge devices has led to a growing amount of unlabeled data produced at the edge. Deep learning models deployed on edge devices are required to learn from these unlabeled data to continuously improve accuracy. Self-supervised representation learning has achieved promising performances using centralized unlabeled data. However, the increasing awareness of privacy protection limits centralizing the distributed unlabeled image data on edge devices. While federated learning has been widely adopted to enable distributed machine learning with privacy preservation, without a data selection method to efficiently select streaming data, the traditional federated learning framework fails to handle these huge amounts of decentralized unlabeled data with limited storage resources on edge. To address these challenges, we propose a Self-supervised On-device Federated learning framework with coreset selection, which we call SOFed, to automatically select a coreset that consists of the most representative samples into the replay buffer on each device. It preserves data privacy as each client does not share raw data while learning good visual representations. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and significance of the proposed method in visual representation learning.

Observational Appearances of Magnetically Charged Black Holes in Born-Infeld Electrodynamics

In this paper, we investigate the observational appearances of magnetically charged black holes in Born-Infeld (BI) electrodynamics. We examine the effects of the magnetic charge and the BI parameter on the geodesics with different impact parameters. Using the backward ray tracing method, we investigate how spherically symmetric accretions interact with black hole shadows and photon spheres. The shadows of infalling accretion are darker than that of static ones. And the radius of the photon sphere is an intrinsic property of the spacetime that is independent of accretions. We then study how the thin disk models affect the black hole shadows. After obtaining the transfer functions, we divide photons emitted from the thin disk into three categories: direct emission, lens ring, and photon ring. Applying three emission models, we find that the width of the shadow is dominated by the direct emission, the photon ring and the lens ring can hardly be identified by changing the emission models.

Lyapunov Exponents and Phase Transitions of Born-Infeld AdS Black Holes

In this paper, we characterize the phase transitons of Born-Infeld AdS black holes in terms of Lyapunov exponents. We calculate the Lyapunov exponents for both null and timelike geodesics. It is found that black hole phase transitions can be described by multiple-valued Lyapunov exponents. And its phase diagram can be characterized by Lyapunov exponents and Hawking temperature. Besides, the change of Lyapunov exponents can be considered as order parameter, and exists a critical exponent $1/2$ near critical point.

Thermodynamics and Microstructures of Euler-Heisenberg Black Hole in a Cavity

The Euler-Heisenberg black holes with quantum electrodynamics (QED) correction are embraced by a cavity in this paper, which serves as a boundary of the black hole spacetime and contributes to the equilibrium of the system. We explore the thermodynamic properties of the black hole, including the phase transitions and phase structures. The small/large black hole phase transition occurs for a negative QED parameter, while the reentrant phase transition can be observed for a small positive QED parameter. Then the thermodynamic geometry is investigated to diagnose microscopic interactions of black hole thermodynamic systems. For the reentrant phase transition, the small black holes are dominated by repulsion for the first-order coexistence curve, while the interaction between the small black hole molecules could be attractive or repulsive for the small/large black hole phase transition.

A Graphical Point Process Framework for Understanding Removal Effects in Multi-Touch Attribution

Marketers employ various online advertising channels to reach customers, and they are particularly interested in attribution for measuring the degree to which individual touchpoints contribute to an eventual conversion. The availability of individual customer-level path-to-purchase data and the increasing number of online marketing channels and types of touchpoints bring new challenges to this fundamental problem. We aim to tackle the attribution problem with finer granularity by conducting attribution at the path level. To this end, we develop a novel graphical point process framework to study the direct conversion effects and the full relational structure among numerous types of touchpoints simultaneously. Utilizing the temporal point process of conversion and the graphical structure, we further propose graphical attribution methods to allocate proper path-level conversion credit, called the attribution score, to individual touchpoints or corresponding channels for each customer's path to purchase. Our proposed attribution methods consider the attribution score as the removal effect, and we use the rigorous probabilistic definition to derive two types of removal effects. We examine the performance of our proposed methods in extensive simulation studies and compare their performance with commonly used attribution models. We also demonstrate the performance of the proposed methods in a real-world attribution application.

Vector Approximate Message Passing based Channel Estimation for MIMO-OFDM Underwater Acoustic Communications

Accurate channel estimation is critical to the performance of orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) underwater acoustic (UWA) communications, especially under multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) scenarios. In this paper, we explore Vector Approximate Message Passing (VAMP) coupled with Expected Maximum (EM) to obtain channel estimation (CE) for MIMO OFDM UWA communications. The EM-VAMP-CE scheme is developed by employing a Bernoulli-Gaussian (BG) prior distribution for the channel impulse response, and hyperparameters of the BG prior distribution are learned via the EM algorithm. Performance of the EM-VAMP-CE is evaluated through both synthesized data and real data collected in two at-sea UWA communication experiments. It is shown the EM-VAMP-CE achieves better performance-complexity tradeoff compared with existing channel estimation methods.

Thermodynamics and phase transition in central charge criticality of charged Gauss-Bonnet AdS black holes

In this paper, we investigate the thermodynamics of D-dimensional charged Gauss-Bonnet black holes in anti-de Sitter spacetime. Varying the cosmological constant, Newton constant and Gauss-Bonnet coupling constant in the bulk, one can rewrite the first law of thermodynamics for black holes. Furthermore, we introduce the central charge and study the critical behaviors, which show the apparent discrepancy from other black holes. Based on this approach, we disclose the phase transition structures in $D=4, 5$, and $6$. Besides, a triple point where the small/intermediate/large black holes can coexist is found in $D=6$.

Temporal and Spatial Chaos of RN-AdS Black Holes Immersed in Perfect Fluid Dark Matter

We investigate the thermodynamic chaos of RN-AdS black holes immersed in Perfect Fluid Dark Matter by considering the dynamical equations of the fluid system evolved in the spinodal region. Based on the Melnikov method, it is shown that there exists a critical amplitude that affects the temporal chaos. And the influence of black holes charge and state parameter on the critical amplitude is investigated with specific initial temperature. Then, for inevitable spatial chaos, three different types of portraits are discssued according to the difference between the phase transition pressure and the ambient pressure. Additionally, we check the local equilibrium near saddle points which shows that spatial chaos always exists regardless of the perturbation intensity.

Phase transitions and thermodynamic geometry of a Kerr-Newman black hole in a cavity

Being placed in a cavity is an effective way of reaching thermodynamic equilibrium for black holes. We investigate a Kerr-Newman black hole in a cavity as well as compare it with two reduced cases, i.e., a RN black hole in a cavity and a Kerr black hole in a cavity. We derive the quasi-local energy from the Hamiltonian, and construct the first law of thermodynamics accordingly. In a canonical ensemble, these black holes could undergo a van der Waals-like phase transition, which is very similar to that in AdS space. We further investigate the black holes' thermodynamic geometry, which is a powerful tool to diagnose microscopic interactions of a thermodynamic system. Our results show that in a cavity, although phase structures of these black holes are similar, their thermodynamic geometry show strong dissimilarities, implying that the microstructure of a black hole is sensitive to its states.

Topology of black hole thermodynamics in Lovelock gravity

In this work, we present a convenient method to perform the topological analysis of black hole thermodynamics. Utilizing the spinodal curve, thermodynamic critical points of a black hole are endowed with a topological quantity, Brouwer degree, which reflects intrinsic properties of the system under smooth deformations. Specially, in our setup, it can be easily calculated without exact solution of critical points. This enables us to conveniently investigate the topological transition between different thermodynamic systems, and give a topological classification for them. In this framework, topology of Lovelock AdS black holes with spherical horizon geometry is explored. Results show that charged black holes in arbitrary dimensions can be classified into the same topology class, whereas the $d=7$ and $d \geq 8$ uncharged black holes are in different topology classes. Moreover, we revisit the relation between different phase structures of these black holes from the viewpoint of topology. Some general topological properties of critical points are also discussed.

Joule-Thomson expansion of the lower-dimensional black hole in rainbow gravity

In this paper, we extend Joule-Thomson expansion to the low-dimensional regime in rainbow gravity by considering the rainbow rotating BTZ metric in the (2+1)-dimensional spacetime. After the metric of the black hole is obtained, we get the Joule-Thomson expansion of the black hole, including the Joule-Thomson coefficient, inversion curves, and isenthalpic curves. We find that a rainbow rotating BTZ black hole does not have $P-V$ critical behavior. The effects of rainbow gravity are to slow down the trend of the increase of the Joule-Thomson coefficient and make its zero point larger. Moreover, the rainbow gravity slows down the inverse temperature of the black hole, meaning that a rainbow rotating BTZ black hole tends to change its heating or cooling action at a lower temperature, which can be attributed to the topology of the black hole.

Thermodynamics and phase transition of BTZ black hole in a cavity

In this paper, we study the thermodynamics and phase transition of a BTZ black hole in a finite space region, namely a cavity. By imposing a temperature-fixed boundary condition on the wall of the cavity and evaluating the Euclidean action, we derive the thermodynamic quantities and then construct the first law of thermodynamics for a static and neutral BTZ black hole, a rotating BTZ black hole and a charged BTZ black hole, respectively. We prove that heat capacities of these three types of black holes are always non-negative. Considering a grand canonical ensemble, we find that the non-extreme rotating black hole and the charged black hole are locally thermodynamically stable by calculating the Hessian matrix of their internal energy. At the phase transition level, it shows that for the static and neutral BTZ black hole, the phase transition only exists between thermal AdS3 spacetime and the black hole. The temperature where the phase transition occurs is only determined by the cavity radius. For rotating and charged cases, there may exist an extra second-order phase transition between the black hole and the black hole-cavity merger state. The phase structure of a BTZ black hole in a cavity shows strong dissimilarities from that without the cavity.

Effects of Born-Infeld electrodynamics on black hole shadows

In this work, we study the shadow of Born-Infeld (BI) black holes with magnetic monopoles and Schwarzschild black holes immersed in the BI uniform magnetic field. Illuminated by a celestial sphere, black hole images are obtained by using the backward ray-tracing method. For magnetically charged BI black holes, we find that the shadow radius increases with the increase of nonlinear electromagnetics effects. For Schwarzschild black holes immersed in the BI uniform magnetic field, photons tend to move towards the axis of symmetric, resulting in stretched shadows along the equatorial plane.
