Abstract

An `open' or (μ,P,T)(\mu,P,T)-ensemble describes equilibrium systems whose control parameters are chemical potential μ\mu, pressure PP and temperature TT. Such an unconstrained ensemble is seldom used for applications to standard thermodynamic systems due to the fact that the corresponding free energy identically vanishes as a result of the Euler relation. However, an open ensemble is perfectly regular for the case of black holes, as the entropy is a quasi-homogeneous function of extensive thermodynamic variables with scaling dictated by the Smarr formula. Following a brief discussion on thermodynamics in the open ensemble, we compute the general form of logarithmic corrections to the entropy of a typical system, due to fluctuations in energy, thermodynamic volume and a generic charge NN. This is then used to obtain the exact analytic form of the logarithmically corrected black hole entropy for charged and rotating black holes in anti-de Sitter spacetimes.
