Thermodynamics of bosonic systems in adS spacetime

Abstract

We analyze the thermodynamics of massless bosonic systems in D-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime, considering scalar, electromagnetic, and gravitational fields. Their dynamics are described by Poschl-Teller effective potentials and quantized in a unified framework, with the determination of the associated energy spectra. From the microscopic description developed, a macroscopic thermodynamic treatment is proposed, where an effective volume in anti-de Sitter geometry is defined and a suitable thermodynamic limit is considered. Partition functions are constructed for the bosonic gases, allowing the determination of several thermodynamic quantities of interest. With the obtained results, general aspects of the thermodynamics are explored.
