Higher-dimensional origin of extended black hole thermodynamics (2212.14055v2)

Abstract: Holographic braneworlds are used to present a higher-dimensional origin of extended black hole thermodynamics. In this framework, classical, asymptotically anti-de Sitter black holes map to quantum black holes in one dimension less, with a conformal matter sector that backreacts on the brane geometry. Varying the brane tension alone leads to a dynamical cosmological constant on the brane, and, correspondingly, a variable pressure attributed to the brane black hole. Thus, standard thermodynamics in the bulk, including a work term coming from the brane, induces extended thermodynamics on the brane, exactly, to all orders in the backreaction. A microsopic interpretation of the extended thermodynamics of specific quantum black holes is given via double holography.
