Thermodynamic extended phase space and criticality of black holes at Pure Lovelock gravity
In this work the \textit{chemistry} of asymptotically AdS black hole, charged
and uncharged, solutions of Pure Lovelock gravity is discussed. For this the
mass parameter of black holes is identified with the enthalpy of the system
together with the promotion of the cosmological constant to a thermodynamics
variable proportional to the \textit{pressure} of the system. The equations of
state for both, charged and uncharged, are obtained. It is shown that the
charged case behaves as a Van der Waals fluid. The existence of a first order
phase transition between small stable/large stable black hole, which is a
reminiscent of the liquid/gas transition, is found. The critical exponents of
the thermal evolution, for different cases of interest, are similar to those of
the Van der Waals fluid
