Abstract
The P-V phase transition and critical behavior in the extended phase space of asymptotic Anti-de Sitter (AdS) black holes have been widely investigated, in which four critical exponents around critical point are found to be consistent with values in the mean field theory. Recently, another critical exponent ν related to divergent correlation length at critical point is proposed by using thermodynamic curvature scalar RN in the charged AdS black hole. In this paper, we develop a method to investigate the divergent behavior of RN at critical point, and find that the divergent behavior of RN around the critical point expresses a universal property in generic black holes. We further directly apply this method to investigate black holes in de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) massive gravity to check this universality. Those results shed new lights on the microscopic properties of black holes.
