Abstract

Employing the novel exact dictionary between the laws of extended black hole thermodynamics and the laws of the dual CFT, we study the extended thermodynamics for CFT states that are dual to neutral singly-spinning asymptotically AdS black holes in d bulk spacetime dimensions. On the field theory side we include two independent pairs of thermodynamic conjugate variables: the central charge-chemical potential term and the pressure-volume term. In this setting we uncover various phase transitions and critical behaviour in the CFT, focusing on three different thermodynamic ensembles. Namely, for fixed angular momentum and central charge, we show there is a Van der Waals-like criticality for d = 4, 5 and reentrant phase transitions for d ≥ 6. At fixed angular velocity and central charge, there is a first-order (de)confinement phase transition in all dimensions d ≥ 3. Finally, at fixed angular momentum and chemical potential we find a plethora of zero-order phase transitions and unstable phases in both d = 4 and d = 6.
