Critical Behavior of Dimensionally Continued Black Holes

arXiv:gr-qc/9502029 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.53.816

Abstract

The critical behavior of black holes in even and odd dimensional spacetimes is studied based on Bañados-Teitelboim-Zanelli (BTZ) dimensionally continued black holes. In even dimensions it is found that asymptotically flat and anti de-Sitter Reissner-Nordström black holes present up to two second order phase transitions. The case of asymptotically anti-de-Sitter Schwarzschild black holes present only one critical transition and a minimum of temperature, which occurs at the transition. Finally, it is shown that phase transitions are absent in odd dimensions.
