Maxwell’s Equal Area Law and the Hawking-Page Phase Transition
Maxwell’s Equal Area Law and the Hawking-Page Phase Transition
We study the phases of a Schwarzschild black hole in the Anti-deSitter background geometry. Exploiting fluid/gravity duality, we construct the Maxwell equal area isotherm in the temperature-entropy plane, in order to eliminate negative heat capacity BHs. The construction we present here is reminiscent of the isobar cut in the pressure-volume …
