The phases of higher spin black holes — •Ignacio Reyes1,2, Max Banados2, Gustavo During2, and Alberto Faraggi2 — 1Institut für Theoretische Physik und Astrophysik, Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, Germany — 2Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, Santiago, Chile
We study the thermodynamic phase diagram of three-dimensional sl(N,R) higher spin black holes. By analyzing the semi-classical partition function we uncover a rich structure that includes Hawking-Page transitions to the AdS3 vacuum, first order phase transitions among black hole states, and a second order critical point. Our analysis is explicit for N = 4 but we extrapolate some of our conclusions to arbitrary N. In particular, we argue that even N is stable in the ensemble under consideration but odd N is not.
