Probing the relationship between the null geodesics and thermodynamic phase transition for rotating Kerr-AdS black holes

Abstract

In this paper, we aim to examine the relationship between the unstable circular photon orbit and the thermodynamic phase transition for a rotating Kerr-AdS black hole. On one side, we give a brief review of the phase transition for the Kerr-AdS black hole. The coexistence curve and the metastable curve corresponding to the phase transition are clearly shown. On the other side, we calculate the radius and the angular momentum of the unstable circular orbits for a photon by analyzing the effective potential. Then combining these two sides, we find the following results. i) The radius and the angular momentum of the unstable circular photon orbits demonstrate the non-monotonic behaviors when the thermodynamic phase transition takes place. So from the behavior of the circular orbit, one can determine whether there exists a thermodynamic phase transition. ii) The difference of the radius or the angular momentum for the coexistence small and large black holes can be treated as an order parameter to describe the phase transition. And near the critical point, it has a critical exponent of $\frac{1}{2}$. iii) The temperature and pressure corresponding to the extremal points of the radius or the angular momentum of the unstable circular photon orbit completely agree with that of the metastable curves from the thermodynamic side. Thus, these results confirm the relationship between the geodesics and thermodynamic phase transition for the Kerr-AdS black hole. Therefore, on one hand, we are allowed to probe the thermodynamic phase transition from the gravity side. On the other hand, the signature of the strong gravitational effect can also be revealed from the black hole thermodynamics.
