1 Introduction
The most interesting study regarding the compact objects like Black Holes (BHs) is that they can be treated as a thermodynamic system. This idea came forward with the proposition of Hawking, S. W. [1, 2] who has proposed the model that BHs can radiate via quantum tunnelling. This phenomena is famous as Hawking radiation. The best thing regarding the BHs is the absence of any hard surface and they have an exact geometrical boundary named as event horizon. The thermodynamics of BHs mainly comprises of the studies of the analogous thermodynamic parameters which are defined on the event horizon. The entropy of BHs is represented by surface area at event horizon (as both entropy and surface area are ever increasing parameters). On the other hand, the surface gravity which is non negative ever is related to the Hawking temperature. To make the scenario of the analogy more clear, consider a quasi-static process during which a stationary BH of mass , angular momentum and surface area is taken to a new stationary BH with parameters , and . This perturbation is done by the addition of a small quantity of matter described by the stress-energy tensor . Mass and angular momentum of the BH increase by amounts: and where is the Killing vector for the translation and is the rotational Killing vector. The integration is over the entire event horizon and , is the surface element on , with co-ordinates . , where is the angular velocity of the BH. All these definitions bring us to, . Now a simplified Raychoudhuri’s equation [31] for terms like expansion and shear are of first order in . Neglecting quadratic terms, we have . Both before and after the perturbation, the BH is stationary, i.e., , we obtain, , where is the fractional rate of change of the congruence’s cross-sectional area which is the statement of first law of BH thermodynamics[1, 3]. Hawking and Page proposed in their seminal paper [4] that there exist a phase transition in the phase spaces between Schwarzschild-AdS BH and thermal radiation. This phase transition is called Hawking-Page phase transition which can be explained as the confinement/deconfinement of phase transition of gauge field in the AdS/CFT corresponds [5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10].
Area theorem gives rise to the second law of BH mechanics : If the null energy condition is satisfied, the surface area of the BH can never decrease [12]. A physical realization of the entropy may be done by considering a quantity of thermal radiation and following what entropy it would have when it forms a BH. In Planck units, i.e., , a ball of radiation at temperature and radius has mass , and entropy . The radiation will form a BH when which implies and hence . This signifies the entropy, . So any BH with (mass Planck mass), has an entropy much larger than the entropy of the thermal radiation that formed it. On the basis of classical general relativity and considering simple dimensional analysis, Bardeen, Carter and Hawking (BCH) showed that BH in equilibrium obeys two basic laws of thermodynamics, viz. zeroth law and first law of thermodynamics and BH temperature , surface gravity and area of BH are related to each other [13, 14]. The calculation of specific heat of BH is very important to study the stability criteria of BHs. The BHs having positive specific heat are thermally stable where as the BHs having negative specific heat are thermally unstable.
While deriving a BH solution from Einstein’s equation if we consider the Einstein tensor to depend on cosmological constant, the ultimate solution inherits the cosmological constant. The cosmological constant is treated as a fixed parameter in most computations of BH thermodynamics. At at first it has been considered as a dynamical variable in [15] but later it has been proposed that it is better to suppose as a thermodynamic variable rather than a dynamical variable[16, 17, 18, 19, 20] and is related to the dynamic pressure as :
[TABLE]
where is the cosmological constant, is the radius of BHs in AdS (Anti-de Sitter) space and the conjugate quantity of is explained as the thermodynamic volume of the BHs [14].
The mass of the BHs should be explained as the total gravitational enthalpy rather than internal energy of the system in the extended phase apace. In some literature [21], the authors showed that the AdS BH’s thermodynamic properties exhibit a number of similarities with Van der Waals (VDW) liquid-gas system if the horizon radius of BHs is regarded as the specific volume . Some authors [22] have studied the thermodynamic properties of VDW BHs and relate the thermodynamic volume of BH with naive geometric volume and also investigate the thermodynamic stability of BHs by computing specific heat of that BHs.
While studying BHs’ thermodynamics, the popular approach is to take Bekenstein Entropy. But correction terms in entropy may lead us to different results. Specially, if the BHs are regular, the modification in the definition of entropy may lead us to new results. Enyhalpy calculations for such cases may be interesting.
The paper is organized as follows. In section we present the basic equations which we use through out the paper. In section we study the mass of the BHs, surface gravity and temperature of the BHs on event horizon and analyze their behavior graphically and interpret them physically for Hayward class BHs in generic case. We do the same for Asymptotically AdS ( Anti-de Sitter) BHs in section . In section we examine the stability of both the BHs by calculating the specific heat on event horizon and analyze graphically their behavior and physically interpret them. The logarithmic correction to the entropy for both the BHs are investigated in section . Finally, we conclude this paper in section .
2 Basic Equations :
Assuming that the event horizon of a BHs is a Killing horizon, i.e., that null horizon generators are orbits of a Killing field, the surface gravity of a BH can be defined as the magnitude of the gradient of the norm of horizon generating Killing field , evaluated at the horizon. That is, at the horizon,
[TABLE]
Although this surface gravity is defined locally on the horizon, it stays constant all over the horizon of a stationary BH. This constancy leads us to draw the resemblance with zeroth law of thermodynamics, which states that the temperature is uniform every where in a system which is in thermal equillibrium.
Stationary BH solutions of Einstein Field Equation (EFE) relate the first law of thermodynamics as:
[TABLE]
Entropy is related to the term area at event horizon, i.e.,
[TABLE]
as the BH area is given by,
[TABLE]
The classical BH thermodynamics [3, 23, 24, 25] shows mass and surface gravity of the BHs related to internal energy and temperature as:
[TABLE]
More generally the mass of the BHs is nothing but the total gravitational enthalpy [14] and is expressed as:
[TABLE]
where is the thermodynamic dynamic pressure and is the naive geometric volume and they are defined by
[TABLE]
where is the cosmological constant, is the radius of BHs in AdS space and is radius of event horizon. Again
[TABLE]
which gives,
[TABLE]
This volume is known as thermodynamic volume and this temperature is the temperature of the BH and it is the same as obtained from the expression but generally thermodynamic volume is not equal to the naive geometric volume of the BHs.
2.1 Logarithmic Correction of Entropy:
The partition function is defined as [26]
[TABLE]
where and is the density of state and that may be written as an inverse Laplace transformation of the partition function as
[TABLE]
where is a constant. Statistical mechanics defines the entropy of a system as:
[TABLE]
Near the equilibrium and inverse temperature , the entropy could be expanded as:
[TABLE]
Hence is now expressed as:
[TABLE]
Taking and where is a real variable one can obtain by contour integral that:
[TABLE]
The logarithm of is nothing but the corrected entropy of the system stated as:
[TABLE]
2.2 Thermal Heat Capacity :
The thermal heat capacity is related to the mean value of energy [27] in statistical view as:
[TABLE]
where the mean value of energy [27] is given by:
[TABLE]
Therefore, the leading order corrections to the BH entropy can be obtained by the relation as:
[TABLE]
For positive thermal heat capacity or specific heat the (20) can be written as:
[TABLE]
2.3 Another way to derive the logarithmic correction :
Exact entropy function , which is followed by conformal field theory (CFT) [28, 29] is depicted as:
[TABLE]
The more general form of the entropy function is
[TABLE]
where . The special case, when and is due to CFT. After some algebraic calculation one can obtain ( for more detail see [13, 28], then the leading order corrections to the entropy should be as:
[TABLE]
The beauty of his formula is that one can calculate the entropy of a BH by knowing only the values of and of that BH.
3 Hayward class BH: Generic case :
The metric of Hayward class BH for Generic case [14] can be expressed as:
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
where and are both dimensionless constant having value grater then zero, has dimension of length squared and is a free integrating constant connected with the magnetic charge .
To solve the Einstein field equation (EFE) of the form: one can get the metric solutions (25). On the event horizon , mass of this BH can be expressed as:
[TABLE]
We have plotted the mass of BHs with and in Fig- for (27). When charge is very low, i.e., when it is similar to Schwarzschild singularity, we see the mass is slowly increasing function of radius of event horizon but as we increase the charge, we see less mass is required to construct a BH for higher radius of event horizon. Normally charge repels the outer region such that more mass is required to bind higher quantity of charge. But in this case we notice the increment in charge forces the BH to be formed at a low mass. This is very particularly is a property of this class of BH. .
The area of the BHs on event horizon is expressed as (5) and is related to the total ADM (Arnowitt-Deser-Misner) mass of Schwarzschild BH space-time as [30]
[TABLE]
This inequality is sometime called ‘Cosmic Censorship Inequality’.
Using this inequality the mass of this BH can be expressed in terms of as:
[TABLE]
The surface gravity of the BH on event horizon is computed as [1, 3]:
[TABLE]
This quantity is constant over the horizon and that satisfies the zeroth law of thermodynamics.
Correspondingly, the temperature of the BH on the horizon could be expressed as:
[TABLE]
In Fig-, we have plotted the variation of BHs temperature on event horizon with respect to and for (31). Alike the case of Fig-, when charge is very low we observe the temparature is steeply decreasing at low radius of event horizon and is slowly decreasing when we incresae the radius of event horizon. Now as we increase the charge, we see the temparature firstly decreases then after reaching the local minima it starts to increase. Generally occurance of such a local minima signifies a probable transituion of a phase to another. Particularly this may be a sign characteristics for regular BHs .
One can compute the mass of the BH in terms of entropy as:
[TABLE]
Fig- represents the variation of mass of the BHs, for event horizon with respect to and for (32). In this diagram, when we vary with increase of keeping is fixed, we see that increases very slowly with increase of , but if and is to be increased simultaneously a curved shape figure is obtained. But its curvature is less than the curvature of Fig-1.
4 Asymptotically AdS (Anti-de Sitter) BHs:
Now we take the metric which is the solutions of EFE of the form: , where is negative cosmological constant (6). AdS BH is one of them and the metric in this case is given as [14]:
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
The mass of this BH on the event horizon is given as:
[TABLE]
We have plotted the variation of with respect to and in Fig.s and for (35). Fig- which plotted for large radius of BHs in AdS space shows the graph whose nature is almost same as Fig-. But if we take the radius of BHs in AdS space very very small, we find that increases gradually but not linearly and a cascade feature is obtained under the same, shown in Fig-.
Using the inequality (28) the mass of this BH can be expressed in terms of as:
[TABLE]
This (36) suggests that the total mass of BH is at least in a given region of space-time and this inequality signifies that the lower bound on the energy for any time-symmetric data set that agrees the EFE with negative cosmological constant and also coupled to a matter system which possess no necked singularities and satisfies the energy dominant condition.
The surface gravity of the BHs on the event horizon is expressed as:
[TABLE]
This quantity is constant over the horizon and that satisfies the zeroth law of thermodynamics.
Correspondingly, the temperature of the BH on the horizon could be expressed as:
[TABLE]
We have plotted the BHs temperature on event horizon with and for (38). When the variation of is to be performed by taking the radius of BHs in AdS space very large (Fig-), we have the similar nature of the curve as Fig-. But if the radius of BHs in AdS space is taken very small, a cascade feature is obtained in the diagram (Fig-) with out changing the basic nature of the curve and it is obvious due to the transition of phases.
The mass of the BH in terms of entropy and is
[TABLE]
We have plotted the variation of BH mass with respect to and for (39) in Fig-. In this diagram we show that with increase of and , primarily the mass of BH increases relatively high rate and then the rate of increase becomes low.
Now we examine the naive geometric volume and thermodynamic volume of this BH and find out the relation between them.
The thermodynamical parameters of this BH on the horizon is obtained from equations (10) and (39) as:
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
This is actually the thermodynamic volume of the BH and the navie geometric volume in terms entropy is
[TABLE]
We infer from the relations and that for this BH, the entropy on the horizon, is also defined as the ratio of the naive geometric volume to the thermodynamic volume .
In Fig-, we have plotted the variation of BHs temperature on event horizon with respect to and for (40). It is seen from the curve that with increase of , initially decreases rapidly and later the rate of decreases slowly but change in does not effect .
5 Thermal Heat Capacity or Specific Heat :
Now we analyze the local thermodynamic stability of the afore said BHs. We have to calculate first the thermal heat capacity plainly he specific heat which is given as:
[TABLE]
and then examine it for different regime.
(i) negative specific heat indicates that the BH is thermodynamically unstable.
(ii) positive specific heat implies that the BH is thermodynamically stable.
(iii) there is also a critical case where the specific heat blows up and that signals a second order phase transition for such BHs.
5.1 Hayward class BH: Generic case :
The specific heat of the Hayward class BHs for Generic case is calculated as
[TABLE]
Case(i) i.e., satisfies when
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Case(ii) i.e., holds good when
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
or
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Case(iii) i.e., , the critical condition agrees when
[TABLE]
.
If we vary the specific heat of BHs on event horizon with and for (44) for large radius of event horizon we obtain the curve as Fig-. In this diagram we follow a little peak which is obvious for the transition of phases for the low values of radius of event horizon. Due to increase of , decreases keeping is constant and increases as increases. Hence due to increase of both and simultaneously, we get the feature of the graph as Fig-. In Fig-, we have showed the variation of specific heat on event horizon with respect to and for (44) for very small radius of event horizon. Here we observe when very near to zero a sudden decrease of occurs and later slight increase of , increases highly rapid to a certain extent. Moreover in this region of , dose not effect .
5.2 Asymptotically AdS (Anti-de Sitter) BHs :
The specific heat of Asymptotically AdS BHs are computed as:
[TABLE]
As for large values of , (52) reduces to (44) and we get almost same features of the graph as Fig.s- and when we vary with and (Fig- and Fig-). But when we vary with same variable only taking the values of small, we observe very surprising features of the curves ( Fig- and Fig-). In Fig- we have plotted with and taking . Here we find a sharp peak for low values of and when increases with same values of a discontinuous pattern is occurred and further increases of , decreases relatively greater than that due to increases of . When we take , we obtain Fig-. In this figure we find initially decreases smoothly for some extent with increase of and suddenly occurs a high peak, with increase of , primarily this peak falls with sudden and then increases gradually with further increase of . All these peaks indicate that there happen the transitions of phases.
Case(i) i.e., satisfies when

and
[TABLE]
Case(ii) i.e., holds good when
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
or
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Case(iii) i.e., , the critical condition satisfies when
[TABLE]
6 Logarithmic Correction to the Entropy :
6.1 Hayward class BH: Generic case :
Now we obtain the logarithmic correction to this BH entropy on the horizon by applying the (21) as :
[TABLE]
This is the corrected microcanonical entropy due to quantum thermal fluctuations around the equilibrium and it is only valid in the regime when
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Further we calculate the logarithmic correction to the BH entropy by applying Eq.(24)as:
[TABLE]
The numerical value which will get from (60) and (63) slightly different due existences of specific heat in (60) and entropy in (63) on the horizon. (63) is valid in the domain when
[TABLE]
Now we compare the results given from (60) and (63). Before logarithmic correction to entropy of BHs the ratio of and is unity i.e.,
[TABLE]
which is as expected. But we have seen an interesting result after taking the logarithmic correction to said entropy that
[TABLE]
It is very difficult to say whether this ratio smaller or greater than that of unity.
6.2 Asymptotically AdS (Anti-de Sitter) BHs :
Now we obtain the logarithmic correction to this BH entropy on the horizon by applying the (22) as :
[TABLE]
This is the corrected microcanonical entropy due to quantum thermal fluctuations around the equilibrium and it is only valid in the regime when
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Further we calculate the logarithmic correction to the BH entropy by applying Eq.(24)as:
[TABLE]
The numerical value which will get from (67) and (70) slightly different due existences of specific heat in (67) and entropy in (70) on the horizon. (70) is valid in the domain when
[TABLE]
Now we compare the results given from (67) and (70). Before logarithmic correction to entropy of BH it is found that the ratio
[TABLE]
i.e., two entropies are same and which is as expected. But we have seen an interesting result if we have taken the logarithmic correction to said entropy that
[TABLE]
It is very difficult to say whether this ratio smaller or greater than that of unity.
7 Conclusion
In our study, we have investigated the thermodynamic properties like surface gravity , temperature on event horizon () of regular BHs viz. ‘Hayward Class and asymptotically AdS BHs’ separately. We have plotted different graphs and try to interpret them physically. In Fig-, we have got an interesting feature of the curve that mass of Hayward Class BHs slightly increase with increase of radius of event horizon keeping is constant, but when and increase simultaneously, decreases and a curved shape is obtained. Again for asymptotically AdS BHs we have shown almost same nature of the curve as Fig- for large values of radius of BHs in AdS space for the same conditions (Fig-) but when we study it for very small values of , we find increases gradually under the same condition not only that but also there occurs a cascade feature in the diagram (Fig-) . When we have plotted with BHs entropy on event horizon and , we obtain almost the same nature of the curve as Fig- for Hayward class BH (Fig-) but for asymptotically AdS BHs with increase of , initially increases with high rate and later the rate of increase becomes low (Fig-). We showed almost similar feature of the curves when we plot the BHs temperature on the horizon with and for both the ‘Hayward Class and asymptotically AdS BHs (for both large and very small radii of BHs in the AdS space ). Here we find a phase transition which occurs at low radius of event horizon (Fig-, Fig- and Fig-). If the radius of BHs in the AdS space very low a cascade feature is occurred in the diagram (Fig- and Fig-) keeping the basic nature of the curve unaltered and it is obvious due to the transition of phases. In the variation of with respect to and we have not observed any cascade feature (Fig-). Here we have showed a gradually decreasing curve due to increase of and , though the rate of decreasing is not same all over the region. It is initially high and later slows down. When we have varried the specific heat of BHs on event horizon with and for Hayward class BHs for large radius of event horizon we have obtained the curve as Fig-. For the low values of radius of event horizon we followed a little peak which is obvious for the transition of phases. We have computed the same plot for low radius of event horizon in Fig- further and we have found how the phase transition occurs clearly. As for large values of for asymptotically AdS BHs the variation of the specific heat of BHs on event horizon with and is same due to approximation and so we get almost same features of the curve as Fig.s- and (Fig- and Fig-). We have observed very interesting features of the curves (Fig- and Fig-), if we vary with same variable only taking the values of small. For we have observed a sharp peak occurs for low values of and when increases with same values of a discontinuous pattern is occurred and further increases of , decreases relatively greater than that due to increases of . Again if we take , we have found initially decreases smoothly for some extent with increase of and suddenly occurs a high peak, with increase of primarily this peak falls with sudden and then increases gradually with further increase of (Fig-). All these peaks indicates that there occurs the transition of phases.
In [22], a similar work has been done for Van-der-Waals (VDW) BHs and here the author have showed that the thermodynamic volume is greater than that of the naive geometric volume of that BHs. But for asymptotically AdS BHs we found that the entropy on the event horizon is simply the ratio of naive geometric volume to thermodynamic volume.
We have derived the ‘cosmic-Censorship-Inequality’ for both the BHs. Moreover we have calculated the thermal heat capacity of afore said BHs and studied their stability in different regime. Finally we have computed the logarithmic correction to the entropy for both the BHs considering the quantum fluctuations around the thermal equilibrium.
