For a metric with a simple Killing horizon, the surface gravity of is . Here
so
The Hawking temperature of the Schwarzschild--anti-de Sitter black hole is therefore
Let
The one-form dual to is . For the anti-de Sitter background, , so
With the stated orientation and metric volume form,
The Background-subtracted Komar energy is consequently
The horizon area is , while
Thus the First law of black-hole mechanics
holds with the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy .
For equilibrium with an infinite fixed-temperature reservoir, local stability requires positive heat capacity. Since , its sign is the sign of
Therefore the Canonical stability of a Schwarzschild--anti-de Sitter black hole occurs precisely for
The equality is the minimum-temperature, marginal case; smaller black holes have negative heat capacity and unstable thermal equilibrium.
