Thermodynamics of Schwarzschild-de Sitter black hole: thermal stability of Nariai black hole

arXiv:0712.3315 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.77.104007

Abstract

We study thermodynamics of the Schwarzschild-de Sitter black hole in five dimensions by introducing two temperatures based on the standard and Bousso-Hawking normalizations. We use the first-law of thermodynamics to derive thermodynamic quantities. The two temperatures indicate that the Nariai black hole is thermodynamically unstable. However, it seems that black hole thermodynamics favors the standard normalization, and does not favor the Bousso-Hawking normalization.
