Compressibility of rotating black holes

Abstract: Interpreting the cosmological constant as a pressure, whose thermodynamically conjugate variable is a volume, modifies the first law of black hole thermodynamics. Properties of the resulting thermodynamic volume are investigated: the compressibility and the speed of sound of the black hole are derived in the case of non-positive cosmological constant. The adiabatic compressibility vanishes for a non-rotating black hole and is maximal in the extremal case --- comparable with, but still less than, that of a cold… Show more

“…Taking these considerations seriously, once the black hole pressure and volume are identified, one may proceed to calculate various thermodynamic quantities employing standard thermodynamic machinery. For example, one may study adiabatic compressibility, specific heat at constant pressure, or even the 'speed of sound' associated with the black hole [8][9][10]. Moreover, as noted by Dolan [9], this also opens an interesting possibility of reconsidering the critical behaviour of AdS black holes in an extended phase space, including pressure and volume as thermodynamic variables.…”

“…Recently, the idea of including the variation of the cosmological constant Λ in the first law of black hole thermodynamics has attained increasing attention [6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. 1 From a general relativistic point of view, such a variation is a slightly awkward thing to do, as the cosmological constant should be treated as a fixed external parameter of the theory.…”

“…Thus, the analogy is problematic since the charge Q is an extensive quantity and Φ is an intensive one in the black hole thermodynamics, while P is an intensive quantity and V is an extensive one in the van der Waals system. The way to solve this problem is by including the variation of the cosmological constant Λ in the first law of black hole thermodynamics [9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Since the dimension of the cosmological constant over the Newtonian constant Λ/G N is equal to the dimension of pressure, it is natural to identify the cosmological constant as the thermodynamical pressure of the system (G N = = c = k = 1),…”
