It is found that a necessary completion of phase structure of D-dimensional charged black p-brane ($p > 0$) in a cavity requires two additional thermodynamical phases, the so-called "bubble of nothing" and/or the extremal brane, in…
In this paper we present a systematic construction of an(isotropic) black brane solutions in arbitrary spacetime dimensions $D$ in particular, with Lifshitz-like asymptotics. Two distinct holographic models are considered. The first model…
