    Abstract

    We review some recent developments in black hole thermodynamics for asymptotically anti‐de Sitter black holes. Viewing the cosmological constant as a thermodynamic pressure allows a thermodynamic volume to be defined, the thermodynamically conjugate variable to the pressure. The properties of the equation of state can then be studied and a compressibility and a speed of sound is defined for such black holes.
