Abstract

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 satisfying 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 GT 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.
