Geometrothermodynamics of BTZ black hole in new massive gravity

Abstract: We investigate the thermodynamics as well as thermodynamic geometry of chargeless BTZ black hole solution in new massive gravity. Phase structure and thermodynamic stability of the system is analyzed using the Geometrothermodynamic approach. The phase transition between BTZ black hole space time and thermal AdS$_{3}$ soliton is studied using the same approach and the existence of a second order phase transition is examined.
