Abstract
Abstract In this paper, we study the phase tranisions in the extended holographic thermodynamics of Born–Infeld AdS black holes. The extended gravitational thermodynamics of black holes is related to the thermodynamics of the dual field theory by varying both cosmological constant and Newton’s constant. With topological analysis and numerical calculation, we find that the reentrant large-small-large black hole phase transition still exists in $$D=4$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>D</mml:mi> <mml:mo>=</mml:mo> <mml:mn>4</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> . Interestingly, a similar reentrant phase transition is also observed in the dual field theory, between the high-, low- and high-entropy thermal states. For higher dimension $$D>4$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>D</mml:mi> <mml:mo>></mml:mo> <mml:mn>4</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> , only the van der Waals like phase transition is observed, both in the bulk and the dual field theory.
