We study the Hawking evaporation of a class of black hole solutions in dRGT massive gravity, in which the graviton mass gives rise to an effective negative cosmological constant. We found that the effective emission surface can be either proportional to the square of the effective AdS length scale, or corresponds to the square of the impact parameter of the null geodesic that falls onto the photon orbit of the black hole. Furthermore, depending on the black hole parameters, the emission surface could switch from one to another as the black hole loses mass during the evaporation process. Furthermore, the black holes can either evaporate completely or become a remnant at late time. Our result is more generally applicable to any asymptotically anti-de Sitter-like black hole solution in any theory whose metric function has a term linear in the coordinate radius, with massive gravity being only a concrete example.
There are some examples in the literature, in which despite the fact that the underlying theory or model does not impose a lower bound on the size of black holes, the final temperature under Hawking evaporation is nevertheless finite and nonzero. We show that under some loose conditions, the black hole is necessarily an effective remnant, in the sense that its evaporation time is infinite. That is, the final state that there is nonzero finite temperature despite having no black hole remaining cannot be realized. We discuss the limitations, subtleties, and the implications of this result, which is reminiscent of the third law of black hole thermodynamics, but with the roles of temperature and size interchanged. We therefore refer to our result as the "complemetary third law" for black hole thermodynamics.
