Abstract
We apply the formalism of geometrothermodynamics to the case of black holes with cosmological constant in four and higher dimensions. We use a thermodynamic metric which is invariant with respect to Legendre transformations and determines the geometry of the space of equilibrium states. For all known black holes in higher dimensions, we show that the curvature scalar of the thermodynamic metric in all the cases is proportional to the heat capacity. As a consequence, phase transitions, which correspond to divergencies of the heat capacity, are represented geometrically as true curvature singularities. We interpret this as a further indication that the curvature of the thermodynamic metric is a measure of thermodynamic interaction.

Current Trends in Finite‐Time Thermodynamics

TL;DR: Finite-time thermodynamics is to place the system of interest in contact with a time-varying environment which will coax the system along the desired path, much like guiding a horse along by waving a carrot in front of it.

Phase transition and thermodynamic geometry of Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton black holes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider linearly charged dilatonic black holes and study their thermodynamic behavior in the context of phase transitions and thermodynamic geometry, and they show that, depending on the values of the parameters, these black holes can undergo two types of phase transition.

A new approach toward geometrical concept of black hole thermodynamics

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the thermodynamical Ricci scalar of Weinhold, Ruppeiner and Quevedo metrics and show that their number and location of divergences do not coincide with phase transition points arising from heat capacity.

TL;DR: In this article, the stability properties of the cosmological constant Λ with respect to the de Sitter background were investigated and the effects of an event horizon, which leads to Hawking radiation, are expressed for general field hamiltonians.
