Critical points in Lovelock Black Holes

High Energy Physics - Theory 2016-11-14 v1 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

We review some of the results obtained by introducing a thermodynamic pressure via the cosmological constant in a class of higher curvature theories known as Lovelock gravity. In particular, we focus on a specific relation between the higher-order Lovelock couplings that introduces a peculiar isolated critical point for hyperbolic black holes characterized by non-standard critical exponents.
