Thermodynamics and evaporation of perfect fluid dark matter black hole in phantom background

We present a novel interpretation of the thermodynamics of perfect fluid dark matter (PFDM) black hole based on Misner-Sharp energy, and then investigate its evaporation behavior. We find that the ratio between dark sector initial density and black hole horizon radius significantly influences black hole evaporation behaviors. We demonstrate that the presence of the dark sector can significantly extend the lifetime of a black hole which is similar to the Reissner-Nordstrom case. Our work reformulates the thermodynamics of PFDM black holes and points out the existence of long-lived black holes in the presence of the dark sector.

Gravitational lensing by a charged spherically symmetric black hole immersed in thin dark matter

We investigate the gravitational lensing effect around a spherically symmetric black hole, whose metric is obtained from the Einstein field equation with electric charge and perfect-fluid dark matter contributing to its energy-momentum tensor. We do the calculation analytically in the weak field limit and we assume that both the charge and the dark matter are much less abundant (only give rise to the next-leading-order contribution) in comparison to the black hole mass. In particular, we derive the light deflection angle and the size of the Einstein ring, where approximations up to the next-leading order are done with extra care, especially for the logarithmic term from perfect-fluid dark matter. We expect our results will be useful in the future to relate the theoretical model of perfect fluid dark matter with observations of celestial bodies immersed in thin dark matter.

Phase Transitions and Critical Phenomena for the FRW Universe in an Effective Scalar-Tensor Theory

We find phase transitions and critical phenomena of the FRW (Friedmann-Robertson-Walker) universe in the framework of an effective scalar-tensor theory that belongs to the Horndeski class. We identify the thermodynamic pressure (generalized force) $P$ of the FRW universe in this theory with the work density $W$ of the perfect fluid, which is a natural definition directly read out from the first law of thermodynamics. We derive the thermodynamic equation of state $P=P(V, T)$ for the FRW universe in this theory and make a thorough discussion of its $P$-$V$ phase transitions and critical phenomena. We calculate the critical exponents, and show that they are the same with the mean field theory, and thus obey the scaling laws.

First Principle Study of Gravitational Pressure and Thermodynamics of FRW Universe

We make a first principle study of gravitational pressure in cosmic thermodynamics. The pressure is directly derived from the unified first law, in fact the Einstein field equation in spherically symmetric spacetime. By using this pressure, we obtain the thermodynamics for the FRW universe, especially presenting the gravitational equation of state for the FRW spacetime itself, i.e. $P=P(R_A, T)$ for the first time. Furthermore, we study the Joule-Thomson expansion as an application of the thermodynamic equation of state to find the cooling-heating property of the FRW universe. We demonstrate that there is an inversion temperature for a FRW universe if its enthalpy ${\cal H}$ is negative. These investigations shed insights on the evolution of our universe in view of thermodynamics.

The P-V Phase Transition of the FRW Universe

We define thermodynamic pressure $P$ by work density $W$ as the conjugate quantity of thermodynamic volume $V$ from field equation. We derive the equations of state $P$=$P(V, T)$ for the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universe in Einstein gravity and a modified gravity respectively. We find that the equation of state from Einstein gravity shows no $P$-$V$ phase transition, while the equation of state from the modified gravity does, where the critical exponents are the same as those in mean field theory.

Hawking evaporation of Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet AdS black holes in $D\geqslant 4$ dimensions

Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory is a string-generated gravity theory when approaching the low energy limit. By introducing the higher order curvature terms, this theory is supposed to help to solve the black hole singularity problem. In this work, we investigate the evaporation of the static spherically symmetric neutral AdS black holes in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity in various spacetime dimensions with both positive and negative couping constant $α$. By summarizing the asymptotic behavior of the evaporation process, we find the lifetime of the black holes is dimensional dependent. For $α>0$, in $D\geqslant6$ cases, the black holes will be completely evaporated in a finite time, which resembles the Schwarzschild-AdS case in Einstein gravity. While in $D=4,5$ cases, the black hole lifetime is always infinite, which means the black hole becomes a remnant in the late time. Remarkably, the cases of $α>0, D=4,5$ will solve the terminal temperature divergent problem of the Schwarzschild-AdS case. For $α<0$, in all dimensions, the black hole will always spend a finite time to a minimal mass corresponding to the smallest horizon radius $r_{min}=\sqrt{2|α|}$ which coincide with an additional singularity. This implies that there may exist constraint conditions to the choice of coupling constant.

The Hawking-Page-like Phase Transition from FRW Spacetime to McVittie Black Hole

In this paper, we investigate the thermodynamics especially the Hawking-Page-like phase transition of the McVittie space-time. We formulate the first law of thermodynamics for the McVittie black hole, and find that the work density $W$ of the perfect fluid plays the role of the thermodynamic pressure, i.e. $P$:=$-W$. We also construct the thermodynamic equation of state for the McVittie black hole. Most importantly, by analysing the Gibbs free energy, we find that the Hawking-Page-like phase transition from FRW spacetime to McVittie black hole is possible in the case $P>0$.

Divergence Behavior of Thermodynamic Curvature Scalar at Critical Point in the Extended Phase Space of Generic Black Holes

The $P$-$V$ phase transition and critical behavior in the extended phase space of asymptotic Anti-de Sitter (AdS) black holes have been widely investigated, in which four critical exponents around critical point are found to be consistent with values in the mean field theory. Recently, another critical exponent $ν$ related to divergent correlation length at critical point is proposed by using thermodynamic curvature scalar $R_N$ in the charged AdS black hole. In this paper, we develop a method to investigate the divergent behavior of $R_N$ at critical point, and find that the divergent behavior of $R_N$ around the critical point expresses a universal property in generic black holes. We further directly apply this method to investigate black holes in de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) massive gravity to check this universality. Those results shed new lights on the microscopic properties of black holes.

Investigating strong gravitational lensing with black hole metrics modified with an additional term

Gravitational lensing is one of the most impressive celestial phenomena, which has interesting behaviors in its strong field limit. Near such limit, Bozza finds that the deflection angle of light is well-approximated by a logarithmic term and a constant term. In this way he explicitly derived the analytic expressions of deflection angles for a few types of black holes. In this paper, we study the explicit calculation to two new types of metrics in the strong field limit: (i) the Schwarzschild metric extended with an additional $r^{-n}(n\geq 3)$ term in the metric function; (ii) the Reissner-Nordstrom metric extended with an additional $r^{-6}$ term in the metric function. With such types of metrics, Bozza's original way of choosing integration variables may lead to technical difficulties in explicitly expressing the deflection angles, and we use a slightly modified version of Bozza's method to circumvent the problem.

The holographic p+ip solution failed to win the competition in dRGT massive gravity

In this paper, the holographic p-wave superfluid model with charged complex vector field is studied in dRGT massive gravity beyond the probe limit. The stability of p-wave and p+ip solutions are compared in the grand canonical ensemble. The p-wave solution always get lower value of grand potential than the p+ip solution, showing that the holographic system still favors an anisotropic (p-wave) solution even with considering a massive gravity theory in bulk. In the holographic superconductor models with dRGT massive gravity in bulk, a key sailing symmetry is found to be violated by fixing the reference metric parameter $c_0$. Therefore, in order to get the dependence of condensate and grand potential on temperature, different values of horizon radius should be considered in numerical work. With a special choice of model parameters, we further study the dependence of critical back-reaction strength on the graviton mass parameter, beyond which the superfluid phase transition become first order. We also give the dependence of critical temperature on the back reaction strength $b$ and graviton mass parameter $m^2$.

P-V criticality in the extended phase space of black holes in Einstein-Horndeski gravity

Gravity is believed to have deep and inherent relation to thermodynamics. We study phase transition and critical behavior in the extended phase space of asymptotic anti de-Sitter (AdS) black holes in Einstein-Horndeski gravity. We demonstrate that the black hole in Einstein-Horndeski gravity undergo phase transition and P-V criticality mimicking the van der Waals gas-liquid system. The key approach in our study is to introduce a more reasonable pressure instead of previous pressure $P=-Λ/8π$ related to cosmological constant $Λ$, and this proper pressure is given insight from the asymptotical behaviour of this black hole. Moreover, we also first obtain P-V criticality in the two cases with $Λ=0$ and $Λ>0$ in our paper, which implicates that the cosmological constant $Λ$ may be not a necessary pressure candidate for black holes at the microscopic level. We present critical exponents for these phase transition processes.

Theoretical $Σ$-$D$ Relations for Shell-Type Galactic Supernova Remnants

Relations between radio surface brightness ($Σ$) and diameter ($D$) of supernova remnants (SNRs) are important in astronomy. In this paper, following the work Duric \& Seaquist (1986) at adiabatic phase, we carefully investigate shell-type supernova remnants at radiative phase, and obtain theoretical $Σ$-$D$ relation at radiative phase of shell-type supernova remnants at 1 GHz. By using these theoretical $Σ$-$D$ relations at adiabatic phase and radiative phase, we also roughly determine phases of some supernova remnant from observation data.

Towards a sound massive cosmology

It is known that de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) massive gravity does not permit a homogeneous and isotropic universe with flat or spherical spatial metrics. We demonstrate that a singular reference metric solves this problem in an economic and straightforward way. In the dRGT massive gravity with a singular reference metric, there are sound homogeneous and isotropic cosmological solutions. We investigate cosmologies with the static and dynamical singular reference metrics, respectively. The term like dark energy appears naturally and the universe accelerates itself in some late time evolution. The term simulating dark matter also naturally emerges. We make a preliminary constraint on the parameters in the dRGT massive gravity in frame of the present cosmological model by using the data of supernovae, cosmic microwave back ground radiations, and baryonic acoustic oscillations.

Sonic velocity in holographic fluids and its applications

Gravity/fluid correspondence becomes an important tool to investigate the strongly correlated fluids. We carefully investigate the holographic fluids at the finite cutoff surface by considering different boundary conditions in the scenario of gravity/fluid correspondence. We find that the sonic velocity of the boundary fluids at the finite cutoff surface is critical to clarify the superficial similarity between bulk viscosity and perturbation of the pressure for the holographic fluid, where we set a special boundary condition at the finite cutoff surface to explicitly express this superficial similarity. Moreover, we further take the sonic velocity into account to investigate a case with more general boundary condition. In this more general case, two parameters in the first order stress tensor of holographic fluid cannot be fixed, one can still extract the information of transport coefficients by considering the sonic velocity seriously.

Universality in the stress tensor for Holographic fluids at the finite cutoff surface via fluid/gravity correspondence

We investigate the stress tensor for holographic fluids at the finite cutoff surface through perturbing the Schwarzchild-AdS black brane background to the first order perturbations in the scenario of fluid/gravity correspondence. We investigate the most general perturbations of the metric without any gauge fixing. We consider various boundary conditions and demonstrate the properties of the corresponding holographic fluids. The critical fact is that the spatial components of the first order stress tensors of the holographic fluids can be rewritten in a concordant form, which implicates that there is an underlying universality in the first order stress tensor. We find this universality in the first order stress tensor for holographic fluids at the finite cutoff surface by an exhaustive investigation of perturbations of the full bulk metric.

Generalized Vaidya Solutions and Misner-Sharp mass for $n$-dimensional massive gravity

Dynamical solutions are always of interest to people in gravity theories. We derive a series of generalized Vaidya solutions in the $n$-dimensional de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) massive gravity with a singular reference metric. Similar to the case of the Einstein gravity, the generalized Vaidya solution can describe shining/absorbing stars. Moreover, we also find a more general Vaidya-like solution by introducing a more generic matter field than the pure radiation in the original Vaidya spacetime. As a result, the above generalized Vaidya solution is naturally included in this Vaidya-like solution as a special case. We investigate the thermodynamics for this Vaidya-like spacetime by using the unified first law, and present the generalized Misner-Sharp mass. Our results show that the generalized Minser-Sharp mass does exist in this spacetime. In addition, the usual Clausius relation $δQ= TdS$ holds on the apparent horizon, which implicates that the massive gravity is in a thermodynamic equilibrium state. We find that the work density vanishes for the generalized Vaidya solution, while it appears in the more general Vaidya-like solution. Furthermore, the covariant generalized Minser-Sharp mass in the $n$-dimensional de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley massive gravity is also derived by taking a general metric ansatz into account.

The effects of massive graviton on the equilibrium between the black hole and radiation gas in an isolated box

It is well known that the black hole can has temperature and radiate the particles with black body spectrum, i.e. Hawking radiation. Therefore, if the black hole is surrounded by an isolated box, there is a thermal equilibrium between the black hole and radiation gas. A simple case considering the thermal equilibrium between the Schwarzschild black hole and radiation gas in an isolated box has been well investigated previously in detail, i.e. taking the conservation of energy and principle of maximal entropy for the isolated system into account. In this paper, following the above spirit, the effects of massive graviton on the thermal equilibrium will be investigated. For the gravity with massive graviton, we will use the de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) massive gravity which has been proven to be ghost free. Because the graviton mass depends on two parameters in the dRGT massive gravity, here we just investigate two simple cases related to the two parameters, respectively. Our results show that in the first case the massive graviton can suppress or increase the condensation of black hole in the radiation gas although the $T-E$ diagram is similar like the Schwarzschild black hole case. For the second case, a new $T-E$ diagram has been obtained. Moreover, an interesting and important prediction is that the condensation of black hole just increases from the zero radius of horizon in this case, which is very different from the Schwarzschild black hole case.

Holographic Thermalization and Generalized Vaidya-AdS Solutions in Massive Gravity

We investigate the effect of massive graviton on the holographic thermalization process. Before doing this, we first find out the generalized Vaidya-AdS solutions in the de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) massive gravity by directly solving the gravitational equations. Then, we study the thermodynamics of these Vaidya-AdS solutions by using the Minsner-Sharp energy and unified first law, which also shows that the massive gravity is in a thermodynamic equilibrium state. Moreover, we adopt the two-point correlation function at equal time to explore the thermalization process in the dual field theory, and to see how the graviton mass parameter affects this process from the viewpoint of AdS/CFT correspondence. Our results show that the graviton mass parameter will increase the holographic thermalization process.
