Abstract

{We examine the critical behaviour i. e. PVP-V criticality of conformal gravity~(CG) in an extended phase space in which the cosmological constant should be interpreted as a thermodynamic pressure and the corresponding conjugate quantity as a thermodynamic volume.} The main potential point of interest in CG is that there exists a {non-trivial} \emph{Rindler parameter (aa)} in the {spacetime geometry. This geometric parameter has an important role to construct a model for gravity at large distances where the parameter "aa" actually originates}. We also investigate the effect of the said parameter on the {black hole~(BH) \emph{thermodynamic} equation of state, critical constants, Reverse Isoperimetric Inequality,} {first law of thermodynamics, Hawking-Page phase transition and Gibbs free energy} for this BH. We speculate that due to the presence of the said parameter, there has been a deformation {in the shape} of {the} isotherms in the PVP-V diagram in comparison with {the} charged-AdS~(anti de-Sitter) BH and {the} chargeless-AdS BH. Interestingly, we find {that} the \emph{critical ratio} for this BH is ρc=PcvcTc=32(3223)\rho_{c} = \frac{P_{c} v_{c}}{T_{c}}= \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\left(3\sqrt{2}-2\sqrt{3}\right), which is greater than the charged AdS BH and Schwarzschild-AdS BH {i.e.} ρcCG:ρcSchAdS:ρcRNAdS=0.67:0.50:0.37\rho_{c}^{CG}:\rho_{c}^{Sch-AdS}:\rho_{c}^{RN-AdS} = 0.67:0.50:0.37. The symbols are defined in the main work. Moreover, we observe that \emph{{the} critical ratio {has a constant value}} and {it is} independent of the {non-trivial} \emph{Rindler parameter (aa)}. Finally, we derive {the} \emph{reduced equation of state} in terms of {the} \emph{reduced temperature}, {the} \emph{reduced volume} and {the} \emph{reduced pressure} respectively.
