Abstract
We apply a finite-time geometric optimization framework to investigate thermal fluctuations and (non)equilibrium optimal processes in the -dimensional BTZ black hole. Employing Hessian thermodynamic information metrics, we construct geodesic trajectories that define optimal protocols connecting distinct thermodynamic configurations. Finite-time state transitions are described by paths that extremize entropy production or energy dissipation, depending on the chosen thermodynamic representation. This work presents the first formulation of a geometric optimal control theory for the BTZ black hole.
