Traditional treatments of the first law of black hole thermodynamic s do not include a discussion of pressure and volume. We give an overview of re cent developments proposing a definition of volume that can be used to ex tend the first law to include these appropriately. New results are also pre senting relating to the critical point and the associated second order phas e transition for a rotating black-hole in four-dimensional space-time which is asy mptot- ically anti-de Sitter…

Pressure and volume in the first law of black hole thermodynamics

The mass of a black hole is interpreted, in terms of thermodynamic potentials, as being the enthalpy, with the pressure given by the cosmological constant. The volume is then defined as being the…
