Universal criticality of thermodynamic geometry for boundary conformal field theories in gauge/gravity duality

preprint2021arXivOpen access

Abstract

According to more recent AdS/CFT interpretation \cite{Karch:2015rpa}, in which varying cosmological constant ΛΛ in the bulk corresponds to varying the curvature radius governing the space on which the field theory resides, we study the criticality of thermodynamic curvatures for thermal boundary conformal field theories (CFT) that are dual to dd-dimensional charged anti-de Sitter (AdS) black holes, embedded in DD-dimensional M-theory/superstring inspired models having AdSd×Sd+kAdS_{d}\times \mathbb{S}^{d+k} spacetime with D=2d+kD=2d+k. Analogous with criticality features acquired for charged AdS black holes in the bulk \cite{HosseiniMansoori:2020jrx}, the normalized intrinsic curvature RNR_N and extrinsic curvature KNK_N of the boundary CFT has critical exponents 2 and 1, respectively. In this respect, the universal amplitude of RNt2R_Nt^2 is 12\frac{1}{2} and KNtK_Nt is −12-\frac{1}{2} when t→0−t\rightarrow0^-, whereas RNt2≈18R_Nt^2\approx \frac{1}{8} and KNt≈14K_Nt\approx\frac{1}{4} in the limit t→0+t\rightarrow0^+ in which t=T/Tc−1t=T/T_c-1 is the temperature parameter with the critical temperature, TcT_{c}. Interestingly, these critical amplitudes are independent of the number of thermal CFT dimensions and are remarkably similar to one given for higher dimensional charged AdS black holes in the bulk.
