# van der Waals like behaviour of topological AdS black holes in massive gravity

## TL;DR

This paper explores how massive gravity alters the thermodynamic phase transitions of topological AdS black holes, revealing new behaviors and phase transitions not seen in Einstein gravity.

## Contribution

It demonstrates that graviton mass introduces novel phase transitions in black hole thermodynamics, expanding understanding beyond Einstein gravity.

## Key findings

- Massive gravity enables new phase transitions in black holes.
- Graviton mass influences thermodynamic behavior significantly.
- Distinct thermodynamic phenomena are observed compared to Einstein gravity.

## Abstract

Motivated by recent developments in black hole thermodynamics, we investigate van der Waals phase transitions of charged black holes in massive gravity. We find that massive gravity theories can exhibit strikingly different thermodynamic behaviour compared to that of Einstein gravity, and that the mass of the graviton can generate a range of new phase transitions for topological black holes that are otherwise forbidden.
