Phase transition in decaying black holes
We had earlier derived the most general criteria for thermal stability of a quantum black hole, with arbitrary number of parameters, in any dimensional spacetime. These conditions appeared in form of a series of inequalities connecting second order derivatives of black hole mass with respect to its parameters. Some black holes like asymptotically flat rotating charged black holes do not satisfy all the stability criteria simultaneously, but do satisfy some of them in certain region of parameter space. They are known as “Quasi Stable” black holes. In this paper, we will show that quasi stable black holes although ultimately decay under Hawking radiation undergo phase transitions. These phase transitions are different from phase transition in ADS Schwarzschild black hole. These are marked by sign changes in certain physical quantities apart from specific heat of the black hole. We will also discuss the changes in the nature of fluctuations of the parameters of these quasi stable black holes with different phases.
