Extended phase space thermodynamics of black holes: A study in Einstein's gravity and beyond

Abstract

In the extended phase space approach, one can define thermodynamic pressure and volume that gives rise to the van der Waals type phase transition for black holes. For Einstein's GR, the expressions of these quantities are unanimously accepted. Of late, the van der Waals phase transition in black holes has been found in modified theories of gravity as well, such as the $f(R)$ gravity and the scalar-tensor gravity. However, in the case of these modified theories of gravity, the expression of pressure (and, hence, volume) is not uniquely determined. In addition, for these modified theories, the extended phase space thermodynamics has not been studied extensively, especially in a covariant way. Since both the scalar-tensor and the $f(R)$ gravity can be discussed in the two conformally connected frames (the Jordan and the Einstein frame respectively), the arbitrariness in the expression of pressure, will act upon the equivalence of the thermodynamic parameters in the two frames. We highlight these issues in the paper. Before that, in Einstein's gravity (GR), we obtain a general expression of the equilibrium state version of first law and the Smarr-like formula from the Einstein's equation for a general static and spherically symmetric (SSS) metric. Here we directly obtain the first law as well as the Smarr-like formula in GR in terms of the parameters present in the metric (such as mass, charge \textit{etc.}). This study also shows how the extended phase space is formulated (by considering the cosmological constant as variable) and, also shows why the cosmological constant plays the role of thermodynamic pressure in GR in extended phase space. Moreover, obtaining the Smarr formula from the Einstein's equation for the SSS metric suggests that this dynamical equation encodes more information on BH thermodynamics than what has been anticipated before.
