A Cardy-Verlinde formula is derived thermodynamically for CFTs living on S^n x R 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.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2001-10-24T16:57:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "conformal field theories", "holographic duals", "anti-de sitter-schwarzschild bulk space-times", "cardy-verlinde formula", "high temperature phase" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 560747 } } }
