Thermal chaos of charged-flat black hole via R\'enyi formalism

Abstract

Charged-flat black holes in the R\'enyi extended phase space demonstrate phase structures akin to those of a van der Waals fluid in four-dimensional spacetime and mirror the behaviors of Reissner-Nordstrom-Anti-de-Sitter black holes within the standard Gibbs-Boltzmann extended phase space. This study delves into the dynamics of states initially positioned within the unstable spinodal region of the phase space associated with the charged-flat black hole when subjected to time-periodic thermal perturbations. Our analysis based on the Mel'nikov method reveals that chaos emerges when the $\delta$ parameter surpasses a critical threshold, $\delta_c$. This critical quantity is dependent on the black hole charge; notably, a larger value of $Q$ impedes the onset of chaos. Furthermore, we examine the effects of space-periodic thermal perturbations on its equilibrium state and find that chaos invariably occurs, irrespective of the perturbation amplitude. Hence, the chaotic dynamics observed in the analysis of charged-flat black holes under R\'enyi statistics exhibit resemblances to those of asymptotically AdS-charged black holes investigated via the Gibbs-Boltzmann formalism. This serves as yet another example of a potential and significant connection between the cosmological constant and the nonextensivity R\'enyi parameter.
