Hairy black holes and naked singularities of quartic quasi-topological gravity within the framework of logarithmic electrodynamics

Abstract

We establish a new family of hairy black hole solutions of quartic quasi-topological gravity sourced by logarithmic electrodynamics and conformal scalar field. Here, we derive the metric function defining black hole structures and investigate the effects of electric charge, scalar hair, and dimensionality parameters on the location of the event horizon. The corresponding hairy black hole solution of the quartic quasi-topological gravity sourced by Maxwell field is also deduced in this setup. In addition, we also compute thermodynamic quantities for these objects such as temperature, entropy and heat capacity, and check the first law of thermodynamics. Furthermore, the impacts of scalar hair and electric charge on the divergences of heat capacity and extreme black hole’s horizon radius are also investigated. Finally, we also analyze thermodynamic stability and critical behavior of the resultant hairy black holes at the event horizon.
