Configurational entropy of charged AdS black holes
When we consider charged AdS black holes in higher dimensional spacetime and
a molecule number density along coexistence curves is numerically extended to
higher dimensional cases. It is found that a number density difference of a
small and large black holes decrease as a total dimension grows up. In
particular, we find that a configurational entropy is a concave function of a
reduced temperature and reaches a maximum value at a critical (second-order
phase transition) point. Furthermore, the bigger a total dimension becomes, the
more concave function in a configurational entropy while the more convex
function in a reduced pressure.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, typos corrected, version to appear in PL
The Extended Thermodynamic Properties of a topological Taub-NUT/Bolt-AdS spaces
We consider higher dimensional topological Taub-NUT/Bolt-AdS solutions where
a cosmological constant is treated as a pressure. The thermodynamic quantities
of these solutions are explicitly calculated. Furthermore, we find these
thermodynamic quantities satisfy the Clapeyron equation. In particular, a new
thermodynamically stable region for the NUT solution is found by studying the
Gibbs free energy. Intriguingly, we also find that like the AdS black hole
case, the G-T diagram of the Bolt solution has two branches which are joined at
a minimum temperature. The Bolt solution with the large radius, at the lower
branch, becomes stable beyond a certain temperature while the Bolt solution
with the small radius, at the upper branch, is always unstable.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures, typos corrected, version to appear in PL
The Extended Thermodynamic Properties of Taub-NUT/Bolt-AdS spaces
We investigate the extended thermodynamic properties of higher-dimensional
Taub-NUT/Bolt-AdS spaces where a cosmological constant is treated as a
pressure. We find a general form for thermodynamic volumes of Taub-NUT/Bolt-AdS
black holes for arbitrary dimensions. Interestingly, it is found that the
Taub-NUT-AdS metric has a thermodynamically stable range when the total number
of dimensions is a multiple of 4 (4, 8, 12, ...). We also explore their phase
structure and find the first order phase transition holds for
higher-dimensional cases.Comment: 18 pages, 5 figures, typos corrected, references added, version to

The numerical equivalence relation for height functions and ampleness and nefness criteria for divisors
In this paper, we study properties of Weil height functions associated with
numerically trivial divisors.
It helps us to define the fractional limit of with respect to on
, with ample:
\Flim_D(E,U) := \liminf_{\substack{P \in U h_D(P) \rightarrow
\infty}}\dfrac{h_E(P)}{h_D(P)}.
The value of \Flim_D(E,U) contains numerical information about a divisor
, enough to determine whether is ample, numerically effective or
pseudo-effective
