    The state equation of the charged AdS black hole is reviewed in the Tβˆ’rT-r plane. Thinking of the phase transition, the Tβˆ’ST-S, Pβˆ’VP-V, Pβˆ’Ξ½P-\nu graphs are plotted and then the equal area law is used in the three cases to get the phase transition point (P,T). The analytical phase transition point relations for P-T of charged AdS black hole has been obtained successfully. By comparing the three results, we find that the equal area law possibly cannot be used directly for Pβˆ’Ξ½P-\nu plane. According to the Tβˆ’ST-S, Pβˆ’VP-V results, we plot the Pβˆ’Tβˆ’QP-T-Q graph and find that for a highly charged black hole a very low temperature condition is required for the phase transition

    Stock trading strategy plays a crucial role in investment companies. However, it is challenging to obtain optimal strategy in the complex and dynamic stock market. We explore the potential of deep reinforcement learning to optimize stock trading strategy and thus maximize investment return. 30 stocks are selected as our trading stocks and their daily prices are used as the training and trading market environment. We train a deep reinforcement learning agent and obtain an adaptive trading strategy. The agent's performance is evaluated and compared with Dow Jones Industrial Average and the traditional min-variance portfolio allocation strategy. The proposed deep reinforcement learning approach is shown to outperform the two baselines in terms of both the Sharpe ratio and cumulative returns

    A New Phase Transition Related to the Black Hole's Topological Charge

    Full text link
    The topological charge Ο΅\epsilon of AdS black hole is introduced in Ref.[1,2], where a complete thermodynamic first law is obtained. In this paper, we investigate a new phase transition related to the topological charge in Einstein-Maxwell theory. Firstly, we derive the explicit solutions corresponding to the divergence of specific heat CΟ΅C_{\epsilon} and determine the phase transition critical point. Secondly, the Tβˆ’rT-r curve and Tβˆ’ST-S curve are investigated and they exhibit an interesting van der Waals system's behavior. Critical physical quantities are also obtained which are consistent with those derived from the specific heat analysis. Thirdly, a van der Waals system's swallow tail behavior is observed when Ο΅>Ο΅c\epsilon>\epsilon_{c} in the Fβˆ’TF-T graph. What's more, the analytic phase transition coexistence lines are obtained by using the Maxwell equal area law and free energy analysis, the results of which are consistent with each other.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figure
