Abstract:
We consider the thermodynamics of the Einstein-power-Yang-Mills AdS black holes in the context of the gauge-gravity duality. Under this framework, Newton's gravitational constant and the cosmological constant are varied in the system. We rewrite the thermodynamic first law in a more extended form containing both the pressure and the central charge of the dual conformal field theory, i.e., the restricted phase transition formula. A novel phenomena arises: the dual quantity of pressure is the effective volume, not the geometric one. That leads to a new behavior of the Van de Waals-like phase transition for this system with the fixed central charge: the supercritical phase transition. From the Ehrenfest's scheme perspective, we check out the second-order phase transition of the EPYM AdS black hole. Furthermore the effect of the non-linear Yang-Mills parameter on these thermodynamic properties is also investigated.

Schwarzschild Radius and Event Horizon
The minimum speed required to launch a projectile from the surface of an object to which it is gravitationally bound so that it eventually escapes the object’s gravitational field is called the escape velocity. The escape velocity is independent of the mass of the object. Merging the idea of escape...

Detection of Black Holes
Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.
Not until the 1960s, when the first neutron...
