Thermodynamics of (d + 1)-dimensional NUT-charged AdS Spacetimes

摘要: Abstract We consider the thermodynamic properties of ( d +1)-dimensional spacetimes with NUT charges. Such are asymptotically locally anti-de Sitter (or flat), non-trivial topology in their spatial sections, and can have fixed point sets Euclidean time symmetry that either −1)-dimensional (called “bolts”) or lower dimensionality (pure “NUTs”). compute free energy, conserved mass, entropy for 4, 6, 8 10 dimensions each, using both Nother charge methods AdS/CFT-inspired counterterm approach. then generalize these results to arbitrary dimensionality. find 4 k +2 there no regions parameter space pure case which specific heat positive, so all such thermodynamically unstable. For a region stability exists decreases size increasing All bolt cases some be realized.
