摘要：Black hole thermodynamics provides a profound window into gravitation, quantum mechanics, and statistical physics, with the quantum statistical relation identifying the free energy with the on-shell Euclidean action. I will show that for charged magnetic black holes in five-dimensional Einstein–Maxwell–Chern–Simons (EMCS) theory, the standard free energy violates both the first law and hydrodynamics due to a missing nonlocal radial integral. Its inclusion restores exact thermodynamic consistency and, together with the local CS term, forms the transgression form. This mechanism persists across helical, rotating, scalarized, higher-derivative, and higher-dimensional black holes. Turning to quantum phase transitions in the same EMCS framework, we find a field-induced quantum critical point with dynamical exponent z=3 and a universally diverging Grüneisen ratio, defining a new universality class with implications for correlated quantum matter and magnetocaloric applications.
