Dynamic phase transition of black holes in massive gravity

Abstract

The dynamical properties of small-large black hole phase transition in dRGT non-linear massive gravity theory are studied based on the underlying free energy landscape. The free energy landscape is constructed by specifying the Gibbs free energy to every state, and the free energy profile is used to study the different black hole phases. The small-large black hole states are characterized by probability distribution functions and the kinetics of phase transition are described by the Fokker–Planck equation. Further, a detailed study of the first passage process is presented which describes the dynamics of phase transitions. Finally, we have investigated the effect of mass and topology on the dynamical properties of phase transitions of black holes in dRGT non-linear massive gravity theory. © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
