Stabilizing effects of higher-order quantum corrections on charged BTZ black hole thermodynamics

B S T R A C T this paper, we study the thermodynamic properties and stability of static charged BTZ black holes with the inclusion of higher-order quantum corrections. The corrections to the entropy, mass, and Helmholtz free energy are derived, revealing the intricate interplay between quantum effects and classical gravitational forces in the context of black hole thermodynamics. The study of the specific heat capacity shows that higher-order corrections stabilize the system by removing the instabilities present at lower orders. The analysis of the van der Waals-like isotherms demonstrates the continuous transition from a highly compressible to an almost incompressible regime as the volume is decreased, akin to the behavior of supercritical fluids. Notably, the isotherms do not exhibit any regions of negative compressibility, indicating the absence of instabilities. Furthermore, the convexity of the Helmholtz free energy as a function of volume confirms the stability of the charged BTZ black hole system. These findings provide valuable insights into the complex thermodynamic landscape of three-dimensional black holes and the role of quantum corrections in shaping their behavior.
