Abstract
It is commonly known in the literature that large black holes in anti-de Sitter spacetimes (with reflective boundary condition) are in thermal equilibrium with their Hawking radiation. Focusing on black holes with event horizon of toroidal topology, we study a simple model to understand explicitly how this thermal equilibrium is reached under Hawking evaporation. It is shown that it is possible for a large toroidal black hole to evolve into a small (but stable) one.
