By throwing a test charged particle into a Reissner-Nordstrom (RN) black hole, we test the validity of the first and second laws of thermodynamics and weak cosmic censorship conjecture (WCCC) with two types of boundary conditions, i.e., the asymptotically anti-de Sitter (AdS) space and a Dirichlet cavity wall placed in the asymptotically at space. For the RN-AdS black hole, the second law of thermodynamics is satisfied, and the WCCC is violated for both extremal and nearextremal black holes. For the RN black hole in a cavity, the entropy can either increase or decrease depending on the change in the charge, and WCCC is satisfied/violated for the extremal/nearextremal black hole. Our results indicate that there may be a connection between the black hole thermodynamics and the boundary condition imposed on the black hole.
The weak cosmic censorship conjecture in the near-extremal BTZ black hole has been tested by the test particles and fields. It was claimed that this black hole could be overspun. In this paper, we review the thermodynamics and weak cosmic censorship conjecture in BTZ black holes by the scattering of the scalar field. The first law of thermodynamics in the non-extremal BTZ black hole is recovered. For the extremal and near-extremal black holes, due to the divergence of the variation of the entropy, we test the weak cosmic censorship conjecture by evaluating the minimum values of the function $f$. Both of the extremal and near-extremal black holes cannot be overspun.
In this paper, we analytically study the critical exponents and universal amplitudes of the thermodynamic curvatures such as the intrinsic and extrinsic curvature at the critical point of the small-large black hole phase transition for the charged AdS black holes. At the critical point, it is found that the normalized intrinsic curvature $R_N$ and extrinsic curvature $K_N$ has critical exponents 2 and 1, respectively. Based on them, the universal amplitudes $R_Nt^2$ and $K_Nt$ are calculated with the temperature parameter $t=T/T_c-1$ where $T_c$ the critical value of the temperature. Near the critical point, we find that the critical amplitude of $R_Nt^2$ and $K_Nt$ is $-frac{1}{2}$ when $trightarrow0^+$, whereas $R_Nt^2approx -frac{1}{8}$ and $K_Ntapprox-frac{1}{4}$ in the limit $trightarrow0^-$. These results not only hold for the four dimensional charged AdS black hole, but also for the higher dimensional cases. Therefore, such universal properties will cast new insight into the thermodynamic geometries and black hole phase transitions.
Recently, the phase space of black holes in a spherical cavity of radius $r_{B}$ has been extended by introducing a thermodynamic volume $Vequiv4pi r_{B}^{3}/3$. In the extended phase space, we consider the thermodynamic geometry, which provides a powerful tool to understand the microscopic structure of black holes, of Reissner-Nordstr{o}m (RN) black holes in a cavity, as well as that of Reissner-Nordstr{o}m-AdS black holes. Although the phase structures of the cavity and AdS cases show striking resemblance, we find that there exist significant differences between the thermodynamic geometries of these two cases. In particular, a reentrant transition of the type of the microstructure interactions, i.e., repulsive $rightarrow$ attractive $rightarrow$ repulsive with increasing temperature in an isobaric process, is observed for RN black holes in a cavity.
It has been shown recently that the strong cosmic censorship conjecture is violated by near-extremal Reissner-Nordstrom-de Sitter black holes. We investigate whether the introduction of a charged scalar field can rescue strong cosmic censorship. We find that such a field improves the situation but there is always a neighbourhood of extremality in which strong cosmic censorship is violated by perturbations arising from smooth initial data.
Treating the cosmological constant as a dynamical variable, we investigate the thermodynamics and weak cosmic censorship conjecture (WCCC) of a charged AdS black hole (BH) in the Rastall gravity. We determine the energy momentum relation of charged fermion at the horizon of the BH by using the Dirac equation. Based on this relation, we show that the first law of thermodynamics (FLT) still holds as a fermion is absorbed by the BH. However, the entropy of both the extremal and near-extremal BH decreases in the irreversible process, which means that the second law of thermodynamics (SLT) is violated. Furthermore, we verify the validity of the WCCC by the minimum values of the metric function h(r) at its final state. For the extremal charged AdS BH in the Rastall gravity, we find that the WCCC is valid always since the BH is extreme. While for the case of near-extremal BH, we find the WCCC could be violable in the extended phase space (EPS), depending on the value of the parameters of the BH and their variations.
