Black holes and Boyle's law — The thermodynamics of the cosmological constant

Abstract: When the cosmological constant, Λ, is interpreted as a thermodynamic variable in the study of black hole thermodynamics a very rich structure emerges. It is natural to interpret Λ as a pressure and define the thermodynamically conjugate variable to be the thermodynamic volume of the black hole (which need not bear any relation to the geometric volume). Recent progress in this new direction for black hole thermodynamics is reviewed.

“…However, in our analysis we will consider an extended phase space. According to the first law of black hole thermodynamics and the interpretation of M (total mass of black hole) [21,56] as H (the black hole enthalpy) [56,57], the Gibbs free energy of the black hole can be written as…”

“…However, an identification between RN-AdS black hole and Van der Waals system was recently realized in [13], where the negative cosmological constant plays the role as pressure, while its conjugate acts as thermodynamic volume of the black hole in the so-called extended phase space [14,15] (for a recent review, see [16]). Recently, thermodynamics and phase transition in the extended phase space for black holes in AdS space have been extensively studied in the literature (for an incomplete list see .…”
