The four-dimensional Schwarzschild--anti-de Sitter black hole is a static, spherically symmetric vacuum spacetime with negative cosmological constant . In units , its metric tensor is
Here is the Anti-de Sitter curvature length and is the mass parameter. Setting gives . The surface gravity then gives the Hawking temperature
Unlike its asymptotically flat limit , its temperature eventually increases with horizon radius. Differentiation gives a minimum at , separating negative- and positive-heat capacity branches.[ref]
