Path integral and instantons for the process and phase transition rate of the RNAdS black hole
Abstract
We propose a new approach to study the dynamical phase transition of RNAdS black holes on the underlying free energy landscape. By formulating a path integral framework, we can quantify the kinetic paths representing the history from the initial state to the end state, which provides us a visualized yet quantified picture about how the phase transition proceeds. Based on these paths, we derive the analytical formulas for the time evolution of the transition probability and provide a physical interpretation of the contribution to the probability from one "pseudomolecule" ("anti-pseudomolecule"), which is actually the phase transition rate from the small(large) to the large(small) black hole state. These numerical results show a good consistency with the underlying free energy landscape topography.
