Physics:Hawking–Page phase transition

From HandWiki

In quantum gravity, the Hawking–Page phase transition ((Hawking-Page 1983)) showed that although AdS black holes can be in stable thermal equilibrium with radiation, they are not the preferred state below a certain critical temperature [math]\displaystyle{ T_C }[/math]. At this temperature, there will be a first order phase transition where below [math]\displaystyle{ T_C }[/math], thermal AdS will become the dominant contribution to the partition function.
