Abstract

We review and correct the classical critical exponents characterizing the transition from negative to positive black hole's heat capacity at high charge--angular momentum. We discuss the stability properties of black holes as a thermodynamic system in equilibrium with a radiation bath (canonical ensamble) by using the Helmholtz free energy potential. We finally analytically extend the analysis to negative mass holes and study its thermodynamical stability behavior.
