On the Thermodynamics of a Gas of AdS Black Holes and the Quark-Hadron Phase Transition

چکیده

We discuss the thermodynamics of a gas of black holes in five-dimensional antide-Sitter (AdS) space, showing that they are described by a van der Waals equation of state. Motivated by the Maldacena conjecture, we relate the energy density and pressure of this non-ideal AdS black-hole gas to those of four-dimensional gauge theory in the unconfined phase. We find that the energy density rises rapidly above the deconfinement transition temperature, whilst the pressure rises more slowly towards its asymptotic high-temperature value, in qualitative agreement with lattice simulations. ⋄ P.P.A.R.C.

Black Holes in Anti-de Sitter Spacetime

Black holes in anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime are known to be thermodynamically stable against radiation, unlike their asymptotically flat counterparts. Moreover, Hawking and Page discovered that they exhibit a first-order phase transition. This was reinterpreted by Witten using the AdS/CFT correspondence as a confinement/deconfinement transition in the quark-gluon plasma. Extending the gauge/g...

The phase transition of corrected black hole with f(R) gravity

In this letter, we consider static black hole in f(R) gravity.We take advantage from corrected entropy and temperature and investigate such black hole. Finally, we study the $ P - V $ critically and phase transition of corrected black hole with respect to entropy and temperature. Here also, we obtain the heat capacity for the static black hole in $ f(R) $ gravity. This calculation help us...

Holographic Confinement/Deconfinement Phase Transitions of AdS/QCD in Curved Spaces

Recently Herzog has shown that deconfinement of AdS/QCD can be realized, in the hard-wall model where the small radius region is removed in the asymptotically AdS space, via a first order Hawking-Page phase transition between the low temperature AdS space and the high temperature AdS black hole in Poincare coordinates. In this paper we first extend Herzog’s work to the hard wall AdS/QCD model i...

Schwarzschild-anti de Sitter within an Isothermal Cavity: Thermodynamics, Phase Transitions and the Dirichlet Problem

The thermodynamics of Schwarzschild black holes within an isothermal cavity and the associated Euclidean Dirichlet boundary-value problem are studied for four and higher dimensions in anti-de Sitter (AdS) space. For such boundary conditions classically there always exists a unique hot AdS solution and two or no Schwarzschild-AdS black-hole solutions depending on whether or not the temperature o...

We confront lattice QCD results on the transition from the hadronic phase to the quark–gluon plasma with hadron resonance gas and percolation models. We argue that for T ≤ Tc the equation of state derived from Monte–Carlo simulations of (2+1) quark–flavor QCD can be well described by a hadron resonance gas. We examine the quark mass dependence of the hadron spectrum on the lattice and discuss i...
