Hawking-Page phase transition for pure Lovelock black holes
The study investigates static, spherically symmetric AdS black holes in pure Lovelock gravity to see how higher-curvature corrections affect phase transitions and geometric universality. Key findings include a modified temperature duality relation between minimum and Hawking-Page transition temperatures, and the discovery that the normalized Ruppeiner scalar curvature at the transition point is a universal constant depending only on spacetime dimension for neutral black holes.
