Abstract

We calculate the difference of one-loop vacuum energies for massive scalar field in five-dimensional AdS black hole. (The same is done in five-dimensional deSitter space). In each case this difference is specified by the boundary conditions corresponding to the double-trace operator (massive term) and it describes RG flow in the manner discussed by Gubser-Mitra for pure AdS space. For AdS black hole there occurs instability which is the manifestation of the Hawking-Page phase transition. For stable phase of AdS black hole as well as for deSitter bulk, c-function found beyond the leading order approximation shows the monotonic behaviour consistent with c-theorem.

Phase Transitions for Flat adS Black Holes

Donald Witt, Sumati Surya, Kristin Schleich (2001)

We reexamine the thermodynamics of adS black holes with Ricci flat horizons using the adS soliton as the thermal background. We find that there is a phase transition which is dependent not only on the temperature, but also on the black hole area, which is an independent parameter. As in the spherical adS black hole, this phase transition is related via the adS/CFT correspondence to a confinement-deconfinement transition in the large N gauge theory on the conformal boundary at infinity.
