Multiple Reentrant Phase Transitions and Triple Points in Lovelock Thermodynamics
read the original abstract
We investigate the effects of higher curvature corrections from Lovelock gravity on the phase structure of asymptotically AdS black holes, treating the cosmological constant as a thermodynamic pressure. We examine how various thermodynamic phenomena, such as Van der Waals behaviour, reentrant phase transitions (RPT), and tricritical points are manifest for U(1) charged black holes in Gauss-Bonnet and 3rd-order Lovelock gravities. We furthermore observe a new phenomenon of "multiple RPT" behaviour, in which for fixed pressure the small/large/small/large black hole phase transition occurs as the temperature of the system increases. We also find that when the higher-order Lovelock couplings are related in a particular way, a peculiar isolated critical point emerges for hyperbolic black holes and is characterized by non-standard critical exponents.

Off-shell Hessian thermodynamic stability of higher-curvature black holes
An off-shell Hessian criterion H = S'_W(r_h) T'(r_h) governs thermodynamic stability of higher-curvature black holes, recovering the temperature-slope rule on physical branches and producing mean-field critical exponents.
