Thermodynamic phase transition of Euler-Heisenberg-AdS black hole on free energy landscape

TL;DR

This paper investigates the thermodynamic phase transitions of Euler-Heisenberg-AdS black holes using free energy landscape analysis, revealing how temperature and parameters influence black hole state probabilities and transition dynamics.

Contribution

It introduces a novel approach applying free energy landscape and Fokker-Planck equation to analyze black hole phase transitions and state probabilities.

Findings

Black hole state probabilities depend on temperature and Euler-Heisenberg parameter.

Phase transition conditions vary with the parameter a, especially for 0< a ≤ 32/7 Q^2.

First passage time peaks are influenced by temperature and parameter a.

Abstract

We study the first order phase transition of Euler-Heisenberg-AdS black hole based on free energy landscape. By solving the Fokker-Planck equation, we research the probability distribution of the system states. The small (large) black hole can have the chance to switch to the large (small) black hole due to the change of the temperature $T$ or Euler-Heisenberg parameter $a$. A higher (lower) $T$ corresponds to a larger probability for a large (small) black hole. The coexistent small and large black hole states can be acquired for some conditions. For $0< a\leq \frac{32}{7} Q^2 $, the small-large black hole phase transition can be acquired with a small $a$. The probability of small (large) black holes will decrease to zero for a large $a$. For a small $a$, a higher peak of the first passage time can be acquired for higher (lower) $T$ or smaller (larger) $a$ with the initial small (large) black hole state. For $a<0$, a smaller (larger) $a$ corresponds to a larger probability for a large (small) black hole. A higher peak of the first passage time can also be obtained for higher (lower) $T$ or smaller (larger) $a$ with initial small (large) black hole state.
