Geometrical and topological aspects of rotating black holes thermodynamics in Lorentz-violating gravity
摘要
This work investigates the thermodynamic and topological properties of rotating black holes (BHs) in Lorentz-violating gravity. By analyzing the Hawking temperature and heat capacity as functions of the horizon radius, we identify second-order phase transitions and clearly distinguish thermodynamically stable regions from unstable ones. To investigate the critical behavior of the system, several thermodynamic geometry formalisms, such as the Ruppeiner, Hendi–Panahiyan–Eslam Panah–Momennia (HPEM), Weinhold, and Quevedo metrics (Cases I and II) are applied. Our analysis reveals that the scalar curvature of HPEM, Ruppeiner, and Quevedo metrics are in excellent agreement with the zeros of heat capacity and successfully capture the phase transition structure of the BH system. Furthermore, we uncover the topological aspects of BH thermodynamics through phase-space diagrams that expose the existence of non-trivial topological structures. BHs can be interpreted as topological defects in the thermodynamic phase space spanned by variables such as temperature and pressure. One can compute the corresponding winding numbers by exploring these defects at both local and global levels and locate a topological charge that takes discrete values
