Phase transition of AdS black holes in 4D EGB gravity coupled to nonlinear electrodynamics

摘要

Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (EGB) gravity is an outcome of quadratic curvature corrections to the Einstein-Hilbert gravity action in the form of a Gauss-Bonnet (GB) term in D > 4 dimensions and EGB gravity is topologically invariant in 4D. Recently several ways have been proposed for regularizing, a D -> 4 limit of EGB, for nontrivial gravitational dynamics in 4D. Motivated by the importance of anti-de Sitter gravity/conformal field theory correspondence (AdS/CFT), we analyse black holes with AdS asymptotic of regularized 4D EGB gravity coupled to the nonlinear electrodynamics (NED) field. For a static spherically symmetric ansatz the field equations are solved exactly, using two different approaches, for a NED Lagrangian to obtain an identical solution-namely NED charged AdS black holes in 4D EGB gravity which retains several known solutions. Owing to the NED charge corrected EGB black holes, the thermodynamic quantities are also modified, and the entropy does not obey the usual area law. We calculate the heat capacity and Helmholtz free energy, in terms of horizon radii, to investigate both local and global thermodynamic stability of black holes. We observe a secondary Hawking-Page transition between the smaller thermally favoured black hole and thermal AdS space. Our results show that the behaviour of Hawking's evaporation abruptly halts at shorter radii regime such that the black holes do have a thermodynamically stable remnant with vanishing temperature.
