* ABSTRACT | |||||||
We examine the concept of black hole thermodynamic volume and its consistency with ther- modynamic mass in spacetimes that are not asymptotically flat but instead have anisotropic Lif- shitz scaling symmetry. We find that the generalized Smarr relation in anti de Sitter space – extended to include a pressure-volume term – holds here as well, and that there exists a defini- tion of thermodynamic mass and thermodynamic volume that satisfy both this relation and the 1st law of thermodynamics. We compare the thermodynamic mass with other known quantities such as Arnowitt-Deser-Misner, Brown-York and Hollands-Ishibashi-Marolf masses. We also conjecture methods for obtaining a thermodynamic mass where there is ambiguity due to the cosmological constant lengthscale depending on the horizon radius lengthscale. |
