摘要：

We study the thermodynamic relations of conformal field theories (CFTs), which are holographically dual to anti-de Sitter-Schwarzschild bulk spacetimes. A Cardy-Verlinde formula is derived thermodynamically for CFTs living on S(n)xR with S-n having an arbitrary radius. The Hawking-Page phase transition of the CFT is described using Landau's theory of phase transitions, and an alternative derivation of the Cardy-Verlinde formula is presented. The condensate in the high temperature phase is identified as being composed of radiational matter. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
