Phase transitions for the Lifshitz black holes    [PDF]

Yun Soo Myung

We study phase transitions between Lifshitz black holes and other configurations by using on-shell and off-shell free energies explicitly. A phase transition between Lifshitz soliton (thermal Lifshitz) and Lifshitz black hole occurs in three dimensions. We find that a phase transition between Lifshitz and BTZ black holes unlikely occurs because they have different asymptotes. Similarly, we point out that any phase transition between Lifshitz and black branes unlikely occurs in four dimensions since they have different asymptotes.
