Abstract

We explore the thermodynamic properties of the regular Bardeen-AdS black hole obtained by imposing an additional constraint on a singular "mother" black hole. This constraint eliminates the physical singularity but leads to the breakdown of the standard first law of black hole thermodynamics. The singular black hole exhibits a reentrant phase transition similar to that of the higher-dimensional Kerr-AdS black hole. The Bardeen-AdS black hole exhibits P-V criticalities similar to that of the RN-AdS black hole, however has striking differences in its Gibbs free energy behavior. In particular, the characteristic "swallow-tail" structure associated with first-order phase transitions disappears. Instead, an "8-shaped" or "c-shaped" structure occurs, signifying a first-order phase transition or a zeroth-order phase transition between the small black hole and the large black hole phases, respectively. Our analysis suggests that constraint-induced modifications in the thermodynamic phase space may have deep consequences for the critical behaviors of black holes.
