Exotic Black Hole Thermodynamics in Third-Order Lovelock Gravity
arXiv:2208.05500 · doi:10.1088/1361-6382/acdb3d
Abstract
The generalization of Birkhoff's theorem to higher dimensions in Lovelock gravity allows for black hole solutions with horizon geometries of non-constant curvature. We investigate thermodynamic aspects of these `exotic' black hole solutions, with a particular emphasis on their phase transitions. We consider an extended phase space where the cosmological constant acts as a thermodynamic pressure, and examine both uncharged and charged solutions. In , black hole solutions are restricted to having constant-curvature horizon base manifolds. Uncharged black holes possess novel triple point phenomena analogous to those recently uncovered in exotic black holes in Gauss-Bonnet gravity, while their charged counterparts generically undergo small-large black hole phase transitions. In , we find that both charged and uncharged black holes exhibit triple point behaviour and small-large black hole transitions. We also show that a wide range of `exotic' horizon geometries can be ruled out due to the appearance of naked singularities.
